ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WERE LONG POEMS <br /> <br />Once upon a time there were long poems that told a story- <br />Now there are only small poems <br />That tell a feeling. <br /> <br />This is a small poem <br />And I am a small poet <br />And we are all small readers <br />Who are always losing the poem <br />By rushing on to the next thing.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/once-upon-a-time-there-were-long-poems/
