26th letter in Year 59

For this Wordplay Project of Year 59 I decided the words would be randomly chosen, but that I wouldn’t repeat an initial letter in a 26-poem cycle. Today’s word marks the last letter of the first cycle of this project. Interesting that it would be ‘n’ on the 9th of the month. I figure that by the time I turn 60, I will have gone through the alphabet 14 times!

“Purls of Wisdom?”

Nellie knitted everything from

Evening gowns to knickers. When

Everyone made fun of her, she

Deftly repelled their snickers. She

Let their words fly away in the night,

Eventually, mere flickers.
