Shortening

So often when I write a poem And wait for a critique, My husband, who’s my audience, Believes it needs a tweak. That last verse isn’t needed – It’s a summary, you know. Of course I do, but that way It’s tied up, complete with bow. I read the piece again, his way, And often, he’s correct. A shorter version would provide The ending you’d expect. But there are times I disagree And keep the extra verse, Which I think makes it better (Though my husband thinks it’s worse).
