Ten Lines
Ten short lines: a mite succinct
To get a poem writ and inked.
It takes a certain type of mind
To get one’s thoughts in space confined.
For one who likes to write in verse
And isn’t used to being terse,
Such limits serve to strike a dare –
Compose concisely, or despair!
Despite some stress, I found relief:
For here’s my poem - it’s ten lines brief!
