A Novel Idea: Or Simplicity Poem by Terence George Craddock
A Novel Idea: Or Simplicity
I thought sometimes
it is possible to write
the essence of an entire
novel into a single poem

some poems
have an essense
an entire novel
some have not
simple poems
simple thoughts
surprise surprise
never knowing opening
what you will get
