Write a poem without using words that contain more than one syllable.
It can pertain to anything, be of any form, and any length.
Have at it!
PS: The point is to encourage the creation of poetry without using a grandiose vocabulary. Monosyllabic lines are also very concrete; the longer a word is, the more abstract and ambiguous it becomes (and that's not always a bad thing, but I digress...)
