Short Which Short For Contest

Do you mean short as in not tall
Maybe short as in bad tempered
How about shortening for best shortbread overall
Or taking a short-cut for going unhampered

Short-hand, for taking notes at speed
Short lived as in not long to last
Short stop and short slip in sporting games you need
To stop short is what I intend to do so hold fast


So many short’s to write about, If I do them all, will definitely not be short.

Wow, I don't think I would have be able to think of all the different Short items as you have done so eloquently...and yes there are more, I'm sure and your poem wouldn't be short anymore that's true! I loved reading this enlightening piece this morning! What a truly masterful poem Seren, I enjoyed it a lot! Great Work!!
