Sweet Yellow Dandelion
One moment, we are
here
in the green green lawn
like a sweet
yellow dandelion
At summers end, we go to seed
and poof flash
boom,
we are off and away
on the wind
high above the green green earth

Simplify, Simplify, Simplify!
An old English professor that shaped much of the English Department at Cornell always emphasised three words… Simplify, Simplify, Simplify!
“Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.”
That would have been good
That would have been good advice to John Milton. Alas, brevity was not his strength.
