    "Poetry...Less is More"

    Poetry brief
    doth provide relief
    lest not the
    message be mangled


    Poetry inside
    paints pictures
    less diatribe


    A succinct word here
    descriptive word there
    better use of the language


    Distills the message
    and gets to the point
    less over bundled bandage

    Very clever. You managed to say a train load in a few short phrases. I am also an advocate of short and direct poems..although I am not always successful in my attempts to aply brevity.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.

    Plato (BC 427-BC 347) Greek philosopher.
