I've counted mine, none qualify
I tried to kid myself there were no rules
Length, strength, sublime rhyme
Yet here I am sitting reading you
An actual poetry pamphlet
Dedicated to fourteen lines ONLY
Mine tend to be longer as I'm so lonely
Nothing else to do you see
Hence my drawn out commentary
Hadn't realised short verse was mandatory
Won't manage that no matter how hard I try
If I took it that serious I'd start to cry
Oh my golly gosh! Small world
This IS my fourteenth line.
Dulwich Poet 21st March 2013
(I was in the Poetry Library earlier today, and was reading various poetry magazines/fanzines. One was issue 13 of '14' magazine; which is devoted to poems fourteen lines long.)
