Sherman, do you know about the Japanese tradition of RENGA? of exchanging poems? Yours here are brilliant, so I'm excited to respond with my own:

VOW

U and I

are separated

by an O.

Ewe and Eye

are sundered

by a Weh.

Yew and I-

vy are divided

by genetics.

Hew and High

are distinguished

by an aspiration.

Oooh and Oy

are split

by ethnicity.

Who & Hi

are partitioned

by cognition.

Yo and Aye

are severed

by generation.

Yet

You and I

are coupled

by an Oh!
