less is often more
Luther had a tendency to write with prolixity
using six adjectives when two would do
there were no breaks in his text
his missives were written as a brick pedestal
solid from side to side, top to bottom
Many who read the words of other poets skipped his
preferring to spend their time on smaller less wordy missives
Oftentimes less is more
in poetry as well as art.
