PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It is good to be concise

and get to the bloody point

Some poets ramble on

They endlessly weave the verse

with no awareness

of logical conclusion or ending

It is the Abe Simpsoning

of poetry as the verse

goes on and on;

hemming and hawing

on various pointless details

It wouldn’t hurt
to have a point

or even get

to a logical conclusion

But the Meanderthal men (and women)

don’t seem to know any better;

lack the discipline

or the sense

Sometimes retiring to your chamber

and crashing for the night

is the right thing to do

and even more often

ending the poem sooner

rather than later

is also the right thing to do
