An Ode To Nothing (on white)
Can nothing be an important concept in itself?
This poem pays homage to the invention of zero as a number, in the form of a rhyming riddle. And (foolishly for my sanity) I decided to add the constraint that the first letter of each line would spell out the alphabet.

So well done. At first I thought the first letters were going to spell out something naughty (until I got to ‘C’) ;o)
Kept me guessing until ‘Z’/

Very clever – I’m not normally one for reading poetry, but this appeals to my warped sense of humour greatly.

Fantastic work, one of the best poems I’ve read in a very long time.
