Poetic and brief is what rhyme ought to be,
outlandish embellishment isn't for me.
Let each rhyming couplet be small and compact,
you know then the readers will mostly react
more happily than if they find it verbose—
I'm not sure I've made it, but hope that I'm close.
Consider a few trillion stars, maybe more,
revolving in galaxies — billions galore.
Incredibly, though this small offering's terse,
a couple of lines hold the whole universe!
Now I'm out of words, so there's no need to curse.
This stanza's not less worthy,
no, it is not at all.
Don't negatively judge it
because the type is small!
