Poetry Race Popularity

Tell me I am crazy!

Is there a race here to write the the shortest poems possible just to be
popular?

I think so at times. Tell me not to sell my soul or style, please do.

Just to write more...for the purpose of wearing a crown?

I need a poet magician to support my in my position.

I am tempted to sell out on myself!

Tell me not to be cool, but to be original and real!

In truth, what happens, I have no zeal.

I don't want the roar of the crowd.

My lifelong problem...when trying to be popular..

I end up selling out on myself!

No, it's just that some of the shorter forms may fit what I want to say a bit better than the longer ones. I like experimenting with all sorts of forms; there's also the challenge of putting a big picture in a few words.
