Your Name Is Here
Introduction I thought I would try to write a poem using every letter of the standard United Kingdom alphabet , which would mean every letter of your name appears in it. Yes, it is slightly contrived, but a fun thing to do, and I hope everyone tries to catch me out.

You always make us think and feel with your poetry Mr. Mike. Good job.
Whoever this poem is about, my heart is with them. This is so sad, yet beautiful. I love reading your poems, Mike. I find them inspiring, and there are many words of truth in your words.
