The Shortest Poems are the Hardest to Write

Sometimes the shortest poems are the hardest to write.
The haiku, senryu, shadorma, a single rhyming couplet —
Simple as they seem, they can cause the biggest headaches.
For, anyone could go on and on describing gargantuan emotions
With gratuitous lines and stanzas, but it is in the limitation
That we truly get to the heart of it.
And, it’s not easy,
To be a woman of few words,
Even if I am one with introverted tendencies.
