NOTE: My process was to first think of a word with 3 vowels and 4 consonants in it. I wanted it to be a verb. Don’t ask how I came up with permute. It just bubbled up and fit the rule.
Then I found this website that gave me a list of words that could be made from permute. Several of the words are not ones I am familiar with so I had to seek out their definitions.
definition of lesser known (to me, at least) terms used:
permute = change order of; subject to changing the order of; interchange; transfer reciprocally
peter = fizzle out
tump = overturn
mure = wall and husks or chaff of fruit after it has been pressed
rete = In anatomy, a vascular network; a plexus, glomerulus, or congeries of small vessels: in botany, a structure like network.
pree = test

So for the challenge I want you to:
1. Select a title of one word containing not more than 3 vowels and 4 consonants.
2. Try to find as many words that are using only the letter in the title
3. Combine this into a poem of your own
4. Do not use any punctuation in the poem

For the sake of speed, I too used a website to extract the possible words though I think with more time it would be eminently possible to use my brain to mine the possibilities. You have found some obscure but meaningful words to include and it flows and rhymes well Lisa…

I actually loved the the conclusion most… the true love is what we are after I think… one thing I found myself that some key messages can be repeated with the limitations we have.

An addional thing, you can enter the letters more than once by for instance entering the word twice.

So if the word you’ve chosen has only one “a” in it, you can use words with 2 “a”s in them?

Yes

Thanks, Bjorn. Would like to practice this again, with more time to choose a word and put it together in a meaningful way. I agree that repetition would be good for this form.

Fantastic, Lisa! I didn’t know any of these words:
“tump, pree, rete, mure”
Super impressive :-)

I enjoyed reading about your process, Lisa, and what a great verb to choose! I got stuck on the original 3 vowels and 3 consonants in it. I like the way the rhythm ebbs, the internal rhyme of ‘meter peter’ and the ‘true’ ending.
