A Poem Short

To craft a poem short, one that cavorts, holds court, exhorts, perhaps retorts of sort and not resort to ***ort: a sport that does comport in support of a certain forte.
---------- H/T to Maurice Rigoler's The Art of the Short Poem

I like the poem, Jeff, although I have no idea what was censored out! I'm glad to see you are reading Rigoler, who has a splendid gift for short poem humor, too.

I enjoy Maurice's stuff very much, and often leave poems there. I felt like "keeping" these. You can't think of a cuss-word ending in *ort? I couldn't either, lol.
