Luther had a tendency to write with prolixity
using six adjectives when two would do
there were no breaks in his text
his missives were written as a brick pedestal
solid from side to side, top to bottom
Many who read the words of other poets skipped his
preferring to spend their time on smaller less wordy missives
Oftentimes less is more
in poetry as well as art.

a writer who embraces prolixity
sometimes refuses to edit even one word
claiming each one is vital
because she is inexperienced
does not realize editing makes her words more powerful
for when you are forced to eliminate,
your writing becomes concise and tight
some of my best writing happened
when I was forced to eliminate all unnecessary words

Nan wrote many books, none were a hit.
People simply could not relate to any of it.
She has no life, no pets, no mate.
Excessive wordiness is her fate.
No life experience of any kind.
Her prolixity most readers vastly mind.
She knows her words, but no feeling there.
Thrown on a page like she does not care.
Readers like stories they understand.
Despising overused vocabulary words used by Nan.

Perhaps not be detected,
but poetry is not pleased
of prolixity...
Neither flatter itself with
adjectives...
Poetry does not appreciate
lack of objectivity of
repetitive vocabulary, and
dramatically hates
pimping flourishes...
Poetry does not feel
honored by
poor rhymes...
Dreams of reaching the senses...
Wishes enchant,
thrill, interrogate
to change this world!
However if this is not understood in
the fundamental reason:
it is not poetry... !

Man of the Bering Sea
Met a man who lives near the Bering Sea
Whom displays a vastness of proclivity?
Or he’s often exposing his austere propensity
For unto many of his long-winded prolixity
Each and every day he foretells a fishy story.
Everyone knows of his many ideals of banality
Of him often failing to come to a finality
To his many unrealistic fish-catch stories
Many of his friends pretend to show expectancy
To his many frenzy of penchant of tales longevity.
His closest friends knew of his chance to be
In his chosen book of the Guinness book for brevity
For certain it may be labelled zero to none, not by
chance mon ami
For that man who lives on the shores of the Bering Sea.

Oh my she said what loquacity to speak to me that way in short she was being short which to me is puzzling with prolixity with her haughty grandiloquence to say what I find garrulous Her opinion also me thinks to be concise rhymes with logorrhea I apologize for my dear lady for any misunderstandings on your Part to be precise and to the point I am going to drag this sokal affair out into the open with all the facts with such verbosity that you will get the dust out your dictionary and contrary to public accurateness read and understand the word and not change it to appease itching ears Disclaimer I was not in intentionally trying to harm anyone I hope no one was hurt by a seemingly long rant
