								Like Emily 
								 
								Terse like her 
								will I be,  
								My words honed 
								fine. 
								Perhaps a rhyme 
								or two 
								Will I make out 
								of the blue. 
								 
								Sharp will I be,  
								Working my 
								little verse 
								You will be 
								happy about its length. 
								It could be 
								worse.
