Hi Milton. I hope I'm not verbose in my poems, though there are times I can't help myself. When that happens, edit, edit, edit. / Maurice

I don't find your poems verbose at all, Maurice. I know that sometimes I am verbose...particularly when putting in words to achieve the rhythm or the rhyme. It just happens. People who made their livelihood in public speaking are often so, and I am guilty!

Hmmm...open to your own interpretation, my friend. I tend to be much too verbose, period.

Thanks, Voodoo Child. God forbid that I should accuse anyone of being verbose when I suffer dreadfully from verbosity.
