Not really. The issue was number of words in a set exercise, not what I supposedly "always" say. We move on.

Previously, Bob, you said this was a good exercise. Why do you think it is a good exercise ?
I agree with you, that's why I would encourage you not to despise having a go at something like a Haiku because this exercise has the same intent, to try and distil a sensation into its bare essence of a direct and concrete form. You know, cut the waffle. A good way to learn the essence of poetry, I reckon.
That's why I think Matt's example is the best.
