I love short poems the best

From A Loop Around The Sun, Vol. 1:


A Brief Request To History’s Great Poets

Oh, don’t be so long winded, please,
You greats, whose works are so inspiring.
Words that weave and braid and tease,
Drag tight, wet knots that I find tiring.

Just make them dodge, and wave their banners, 
Colored ribbons, rippling, fragrant
But pity me, and mind your manners;
Some of them wear out their welcome, flagrant!
