Poem- A Short Poem

Short poetry, not haiku

Edited, sliced, trimmed, deleted

To make a point, catch a mood

A mood incomplete

Arrested, frozen

Stanzas on the cutting room floor

What remains, what remains is a word clump

But what words didn’t make it

What are the trees and houses outside the frame

Never will we know

Instead, we have the unfinished symphony

The short poem, what lacks is
