I am a poet of short lines- <br />Of lines that are phrases, <br />Of lines that are small and broken- <br /> <br />I am a poet of short lines- <br />Of impatience and small breath, <br />Of hurrying and not taking time- <br /> <br />I am a poet of short lines- <br />Of condensation and conciseness, <br />Of maximum meaning in minimum space- <br /> <br />I am a poet of short lines <br />Short ones.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-a-poet-of-short-lines/
