I Can’t Write Small Stones

Perhaps it’s my

argumentative nature

or my verbosity,

but I can’t write

small stones.

Some stones are smooth,

some craggy,

but each one is perfect

because they’re not

the product of

an imperfect

human

hand.

So

I stick with the label

micropoetry,

as it describes both

the genre

and my painfully

modest

talent.
