Honesty Plus Brevity Equals Poetry

I am going to be honest. 

I remember all the bad things said. 

I’m reminded of all things differently from what’s similar to what’s been read. 

I forget who told me the good things, but I’m telling those things now if I can remember where I heard it without writing it all down. 

To be honest is to tell it as you remember right away instead of remembering what you forgot in a completely different way. 

To say something as you remember even though you once forgot shows your luck at brevity if you coined the phrase or not. 

The only way to remember if what you heard was any good is to say it better than what you heard so it’s better understood. 

If poetry sounds like something different than what you’ve heard before, chances are it’s good for you but bad forevermore. 

The last line I presume is bad if I remember all the while that uniqueness is eternal with a proven writing style.
