Vowel (re)Movement

Wh@t if @ll the vowels in poetry united?
@nd ignited @ movement @ll @round the world?
Wh@t if they’d vow not to work for @nyone?
@ move me@nt to le@ve us writers in @ whirl.

If they’d unionize they’d go strike @nd terrorize,
We’d feel helpless like we couldn’t use our h@nds,
M@ybe we could use those other @ltern@tives,
Like @sterisks, excl@m@tions, @t @nd @mpers@nds.

We live in @ world of fix@tions with h@sht@gs @nd @bbr.
Where the true @rt of the word seems slurred @nd dying,
@t le@st in my eyes but I love the properly cleverly written,
It’s @ tre@sure th@t I venture to @nd find s@tisfying.

It’s only @n ide@, m@ybe some kind of nightm@re,
How silly this fe@r of mine for vowels to dis@ppe@r,
They’d pick up their picket signs, @ll in their protest lines!
Until we m@ke @ de@l to be proper @nd fully @dhere.

Oh no! It h@s begun.
