What is more versatile than any other tool?
What can defy gravity and rewrite every rule?
What can split atoms into hundreds of bits?
And make universes expand from the splits?
It can burn as hot as the centre of the galaxy
But requires humanity to maintain its energy
In return giving each person a sense of identity
Taking on life as their own entity
It can extinguish the light of every star
Travel any distance no matter how far
Tear gaping slashes of red into the sky
Spin every word of the most elaborate lie
Build something as delicate as a petal from the base to the tip
Make the hearts of many veer and dip
Sprout something as small as a childhood love
And turn it into purpose granted by a deity above
While a pen may seem as a tiny thing
Wielded by the right person it can make galaxies sing

Oh my goodness guys, only one poem to go!
Obviously we've finished the actual alphabet now, but granted, given that it's a February challenge I figured that rounding it to twenty-eight by adding 'language' poems would be a nice idea.
Have a nice day, recommend me poetry if you know any, and stay in school kids.

Under My Sofa
PoetryWhen I was little I wrote in the space under my sofa. Now I write on top of it. That's not poetic. I'm just too big to fit underneath anymore.
