Little length <br />Builds strength, <br />The birds and <br />Bees <br />Seem to favor <br />And savor, <br />Short and <br />Sweet, <br />More than long and <br />Neat. <br />Poetry <br />Takes no time <br />For history. <br />Its brevity <br />Brings grief <br />To me, <br />And I <br />Being imperfect <br />Resort to <br />Put my thought <br />To ink <br />As I am <br />Forced <br />To think. <br />To compress <br />My graphite <br />Into diamond, <br />Sweet. <br /> <br />Copyright © 2009 Leslie Alexis<br /><br />Leslie Alexis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/essence-22/
