E

A letter in the English language

With a strange purpose

It seems overused

Trailed onto the ends of words

Where it seemingly doesn’t belong

Yet little do we realize

It makes all of the difference

“can” becomes “cane”

“ban” becomes “bane”

Ability is different from a crutch

Forbiddance is unlike ruin

What a strange little letter

Seemingly unimportant

But dramatically needed

It may not make a sound of its own when alone

But it has the power to change the tone of all those around it
