Words are bit by bits sure stressed
Though all are not the same
Some are long with lots of bits
While short ones may have more than two
Or not

When what they mean is clear and sharp
Then none are held in less poor awe
For those who speak in words of loft
Are not as loved as those who don’t
Say such words
Or not

So count the syllables, dear friend
And this you’ll truly find
If there are more syllables
Than words, then be aware
Or not

I love when poems make me think. I like the way you say "or not" at the end of every line.

I absolutely loved this, Steaven - further proof of your being a wordsmith - in word choice and content.

It reminds me a little of my poem "And" buried somewhere in the blue archives.
