Short Poems

I read all of your offerings to m'lady Emrys,
whose 'SmartView' screen enhancer
so badly chops up lines
that poetry loses much.
Her comments,
sprinkled with praise also asked,

"Does no one write short poems?"

By this I intrepet 'less than a Fitz,
but more than a Haiku or fortune cookie rhyme.'

So why not give it a a try?

Each must have a beggining, a theme and an ending (homefully ironic)

for a starter, here is one
that I found years ago that
might qualify.

"Once every person saw a flower bloom
and told no one --
but that was a world now long gone
in stardust."
