Brevity
Two Brief Poems on The Subject Of Keeping Things Brief
The Idea
I was wondering how little I could get away with writing in a poem. Taking the concept of brevity as far as I can. I did posit the concept of a one-word poem in my poem “Impossible” (check it out at the end of this story), but I will do a FIB (Fibonacci poem) followed by a Haiku.). I am expecting no reads for this, not because people don’t read it, but because the poems are so short and people will not stay here long.
I included "Narcissus" by the Bonzo Dog Band because at 22 seconds it is the essence of brevity.

The Spring
The sun was high when Lance pulled off the road and into the dusty lot of the service station. The sign back at the hairpin--the first sign in a long time--said they just rolled into Hatter’s Creek, Population 63. It was small enough it didn’t appear on the handmap in Shelby’s lap, yet here it stood, the first backwater township on the fringes of the National Park. The plan was to gas up, restock the snack bag, and press on into the wilderness.

Simple and straight to the point! It's not easy but you did it! Well done!
Absolutely clever... And somewhat humorous...
very nicely done.
Short & sweet! 🍭
Very effective way to express a short poem.
