Tsk! Tsk! Terisk!
So ample
You'll not miss.

Round inscrutable
furball; Moses gazes
upon us all

Brilliant idea, and you all are wonderfully creative. I've enjoyed reading your poems tremendously.


hope
a faithless lover, ever
leading me on

Beware light sleepers,
whose vigilant minds
harbor cynicism.

You need three more words, Prince. :)


Said the girl to the moon,
What gives?

In a perfect world,
we wouldn't need hairspray.

what curiousness can

Exceedingly happy!
You aim to please,
Don't you?

Firefangled,

Permit me a temporary dispensation from the 8-word rule, but this reminds me of a sign reputedly found above the toilet in a men's bathroom: "We aim to please. You aim too, please."

We need a place
for the extra words!
