Your poem is so humorous a reader says.
Surprising me indubitably.
I did not expect that in my head.
When I penned it for others to see.

Premium Member We Say Too Much

I think the greatest
flaw as writers is
our tendency to say
too much--
for the reader
not only participates
with his mind
but also 
with his heart….
