********************************************
The Brevette, created by Emily Romano consists of a subject (noun), verb, and object (noun), in this exact order. The verb should show an ongoing action. This is done by spacing out the letters in the verb. There are only three words in the poem, giving it the title Brevette.

Each of the three words may have any number of syllables, but it is desirable that the poem have balance in the choice of these words. Unlike haiku, there are no other rules to follow.

    Sylvia,

    this look interestingly fantastic.

    I like your work, the way you explore the many different forms. We can all become 'stuck in a rutt' and only choose what we are comfortable with, myself included. You are quite simply an inspiration!

    Well done

    Nicely done, I enjoy poems that say much with few words, each word then has immense power and generates many thoughts while reading.
