I've written so many, 
Some  grandiose, some terse,
And published them here,
To express and converse.
But the most pretentious of all
You've read or passed over,
Is  *The Invisible Poem,*
Subtitled, *Blank Verse.*
Some gave it their blessings,
Some cried foul, and some cursed.
*Isn't brevity the soul of wit*; (Shakespeare)
*Writing is 1% inspiration, 99% elimination;* (Louise Brooks)
*To write good poems is the secret of brevity;* (Dejan Stojanovic)
So, 
*Be sincere. Be brief. Be seated.* (FDR)
Take it as is,
For better or worse.
