The lower case k
I wrote this for my typography class. We had to research and redesign our assigned letter over six weeks. I couldn't resist a punny opportunity...
In ks you forgot
A clog in language
works quietly away
Like the ticks of a clock
Across time and space
Fit for a king
At the highest peak
In the deepest sink
Bows the humble k
It knocks on the doors
Between different sounds
Little clinks and crinkles
Gentle as silk
Or a racket of
Clunks, clanks, and loud crackles
The last letter stuck
at the end of my hook
I must capture its mark
By the end of each week.
