Her Presence
Sense her presence
everywhere.
The streets between
where seeds grew green;the lee, the fen,
the secret den,
the sheltered tree,
the yew, the bee.Her essence scented;
freshness, newness.
Sex let free,
yet never lewdnessKeep the leys
she respected:
remembered secrets
well reflected.Cybele, Demeter,
Methe, Mene
Selene, Telete,
Ceres, PrendeSense her presence
everywhere.
Her dependents
we ever were.
E is a relatively easy word to find words to use in a lipogram, but I might just go back and write more using the others. The image I chose to use with this poem is a flower picture I created from leaves and blossoms of a green woman.

Quick! Change 'unseen' to 'secret'!
Gosh thanks for the spot! Will do!
Changed now. Do you know I got 6 people to look at the poem before I shared it and you were the first to spot that. Very grateful!
