140 Shorties III

<I>140 SHORTIES III</I> might seem to be positing over and over the possibility of magnificence in a relatively trivial and silly private format. That format not only includes relative brevities. It also includes clumps of titles that rhyme with each other and includes a rather special back-&-forth way of moving from one versification to the next.</p><P>The entire group of 140 pieces ultimately must be more of a verbal success than that same group ever could be any fount of real news or of anything like real 'info'. The following couple of examples might seem about averagely illustrative:</p><P><I>LIFT <br>Lift us above<br>hate and love. <br>We remain quiet<br>regarding life's diet<br>of infinite passions<br>in endless fashions. <br>Tending to sense<br>no recompense<br>worth much while <br>I hereby style<br>toward neutral smile.</p><P>DRIFT<br>Drift upon drift<br>of new-fallen snow<br>has given us dreams. <br>A brave recalling<br>would be of scenes<br>seemingly lost. <br>Those scenes<br>would shine beacons. <br>Every shining<br>might seem<br>almost informative.</p><P></I>
