Wilde’s Folly

We’re crumbling by abbreviations.
Our lettered works now deviation.

A new nickname for every word.
Phrases acronymed to the absurd.

Verbose & witty forgone to blurt.
Inflectionless texting  all sounds curt.

Convenience, now our sole avowance.
Ever shorter grows word allowance.

Tone & context make dialogue rich.
Let’s resist being brevity’s bitch.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
