I try to keep my poems short
four stanzas maybe five.
I have to closely choose the words
for the text to be alive.
 
A short poem’s more likely read
than those which are so long.
A long poem which tells much truth
might just as well be wrong.
 
Folks who like to read long poems
find short ones more precise
and if they feel it much too short
might as well read it twice.
 
So here I come to stanza four
I guess it’s time to quit
and if you are disappointed
go off and throw a fit.

There will be no 'fit throwing' from me...I think your words speak volumes of truth very nicely.

Cheers,

Well said. I like it. Even though you might have been speaking directly to me, cause mine all seem to be much longer than 4 stanzas. I just can't seem to figure out how to say it that concisely. I'll practice on it though. Thanks Dick
