Brevity: A Collection Of Poems

Brevity - A Collection Of Poems PAPERBACK - BLACK & WHITE IMAGES "Saying as much as possible in as few words as possible." From the Latin word "BREVIS", meaning brief. The inspiration for the title of this collection of poetry, has been influenced by the observation that a lot more poets are using this style of writing to express powerful messages. I call them "power punch" writes. It is a liberating way of expressing creativity through fleeting thoughts and words. My sincere appreciation, as always, goes to Vijay Vaghela, for his encouragement, professional formatting and artwork My poetry collections would not be possible without his expertise and dedication. The following are collaborations with poets I admire, and who continue to inspire me with their excellent writing skills: 'Elementary Hue' 'The Lick of a Knife' 'Rock, Paper Schism' © Malcolm Campbell/Kim van Breda 'Moors' 'Convoke' 'Flower Nectar and Pride' © Nicholas Courtney/Kim van Breda 'Skyscraper Skies and Tearing Eyes' © Anthony M. Minutoli /Kim van Breda During the production of this volume, I hosted "brevity" contests on the poetry site www.allpoetry.com. The finalists have agreed to allow me to feature their poems in this collection. Copyrights have been noted under their contributions. My family continue to support me with their encouragement. I give Glory to God for His unconditional love and gifting me with a passion to write.
