Question: Would you say that a short poem writer has less talent than those of more stanzas!?
I have recently begun writing and find myself ending poems after 2-3, sometimes 4 stanzas (each usually 3 or 4 lines long!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have a lot of poems that I love and care for that are very short!. I tend to go by the feeling and meaning of it then how long it is!. If people read poems just by going by how long or short they are then there would be a lot of out of work Arthur's out there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That sounds like a nice normal length to me!. I've written some longer poems, but five stanzas are about my limit!. Like the others have mentions, it's quality, not quantity!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Quality in poetry
lies not in length,
but in imagery!.

Quantity in poetry
is often spoiled
by verbosity!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
