25-Word Rating - Within A Year
Written: June 19, 2026, for a contest sponsored by John Lawless
*******************
Composing in twenty-five words—
a challenge,
where every syllable
competes for air.
Meaning is honed,
essence distilled,
and the poem morphs
into a fragile
tightrope stretched
above
silence.
