Shorter The Better!

Ok, this is contest 22, and I would like short poems, about anything, but they must have a lot of meaning, and really get my attention, and the like. I am not a fan of long poetry, so the shorter the better!

There is no set number of lines, that isn't the point, I just want you to write something beautiful in the littlest amount of words possible...whether 20 lines or 1 line... so there you go, have at it!

Rules:
grammar
spelling
punctuation

no erotica
no dirty pretty

Prewrites are welcomed, and fresh writes are even better...

ENTER!

    Thank you for all your entries, i did add a silver poem because there were two which i just couldn't decide!

    I would like to thank all of you who did not see it necessary to contact me, telling me how great your piece was, and accepting my opinion, for what it's worth. That means a lot to me, as I would do the same for you! Thanks again!

    The poem I entered I do not classify it as erotica but it is adult based will that be alright. I guess I will just wait until you read it. Hope You like it.
