Notes About The Poem

In Twenty Five Words or Fewer

I must confess:
I've never tried twenty five words or less.
I am a wordy poet at best.
To be concise will be a test.

In a nutshell, you've shown the challenge so many of us would find in trying to express in 25 words or less... even our comments are often longer lol. Very good!
