Less

If less is truly more,
should the rich strive to be poor,
should each man avoid his best,
in pursuit of, quite frankly, less?

For the last couple of months I have, for some reason, been unable to finish any of the poems I've started. So today I decided to pick up the "Tweetable" mantle again and start writing submissions for http://tweetablepoems.com where poems have to rhyme and be under 140 characters in length. The idea is that the short format will make it almost impossible to not finish what I start. Here's the first poem I've completed in a long time.
