i could write
a poem
as i envision
your handsome face
but i'm alone
with only a pen
and a book
of matches
to my name
what a dilemma
so many words
so little space

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

I have a saying that I probably use far too often:

Brevity is the essence of clarity...and that is because writing concisely means writing precisely (never an easy task), but you have accomplished it well with this write...kudos
