Some Poets call verbosity
an out-dated curiosity,
on their guards constantly
for verbage run amuck.

Some Poets use temerity
when penning their sincerity,
much said with such severity,
no need to nip and tuck.

Some Poets are irrepressible
while coining the inexpressible,
they leave content inaccessible
and reader wonderstruck.

Some Poets will insinuate,
in order to continuate,
thought thats meant to stimulate,
until the pen gets stuck.

Some Poets use embellishment,
that condement of relishment,
drowning what it was they meant
in gallons of the muck.

Some Poets are oratorial,
some aim for the pictorial,
still some are so tutorial,
the work seems to instruct.

Some Poets show classic dependency,
some boast rhyme resplendency,
but all of us hold the tendency
for poetic misconduct.

Anybody that can use the words you did here, with such rhythm and flow...is certainly entitled to a bit of recreational poetic misconduct. Loved it!
