Pithy and Poised.


A song that requires no singing

A story that requires no cover. 

A poem. 

Romance, remorse, rhythm and rhyme

teach us that short outweighs length,

and deliberate words can overpower paragraphs. 

 

That meaning can be found between the lines,

and a haiku can make you cry. 

 

Making a poem is raw yet refined,

stripping words away only what you need to say.
