''The inhabitants of poetrydom are a virile lot''.

Poetry is the refuge of those not born with talent nor the patience to craft one in life.

  • Yes, but not in all cases.
  • Yes.(Full stop)

Something I subscribe myself to as an impatient person.
My poetry is never too long. my longest is medium-short by most standards, but I justify this with having said all I need to say.
I don’t often stumble into laconicism.

Perhaps with age I will stray, and
corrupt the curt to pay my way.
As a modern man would know,
while I pay my due in years
unlike the seeded, and the sowed,
I shall amass my coined arrears.

That was on spur of the moment, you know.
Quite uncorrupted.
