Not So Smart After All (A Poem for Day Five of PAD)

Day five (yes, I'm behind). 


For today’s prompt, write an intelligence poem. Of course, intelligence is subjective. What is common sense for one person makes no sense to another. But intelligence is more than IQ and test scores. There’s artificial intelligence, intelligent animals, and military intel. And I’ve found that many poets have a special intelligence of their own.

Not So Smart After All
Tried to compose
a poem using only
letters found in
“intelligence,” but
I guess my intellect
falls one T short.
