Short Poem by Lynne RBC

I made a resolution.
I'm keeping it short.
Less words.
No explanations.
Direct
or concise
or ambiguous.
But definitely
less superfluous.
It's a yes
or a no.
Not a maybe.
Nor a cream
on top of the
strawberry
which I adore.
From now on
I'll be a bore
to you
but not to me.
My thoughts
will still flow
easily
even your cage
can't brand me
unfree.
I will talk
the talk
and then abort
before
i break my promise
to be short.

Don't ask why
I might justify
then cut.
I'll try and keep
my mouth shut.
For now.
