February 18, 2010 at 12:49 PM So much truth in your words. I admire people that can use concise forms in creative ways. It's not easy making a statement in one line that makes an impact. Yes, terse verse writers are often overlooked but in some circles they thrive too. I guess that's with any style of writing. You got me thinking with this one. Thank you for sharing it and for your kind comment. Blessings to you! Karen
