Queenly Q is waited upon by U
Who follows its adventures
Like Sanchez did Don Quixote’s.
The quiddity of a Q
Is that it must be followed by a U,
To make a sound word
Simply follow this rule.
Have no qualms.
Though quirky at first
It might seem.
Don’t quail, ’tis merely algebraic precision.
It ain’t no quagmire, calmly
Glimpse through the dictionary
Even though a quotidian job it may be.
Q is made of halves two
They are K and W.

Lovely play on Q. Such a delightful poem, Mumtaz. And, I am one with Natasha about the fangirl thing. I learn something new from each of your poems. I am a huge admirer of your poetry. Thanks for sharing them. 💚
We all learn from one another and yes are inspired by each other’s work. I am humbled by your words.
Awesome! Another quirk of the language we blindly follow..
Ah! cute poem. Lovely take.
What a take. Yes, every Q has to be followed by U.
Thank you Sai, Sheetal and Sarita.
