Quatrain verse is capable itself to comport – at the very least by being benignly short

To express oneself by stanza
ain’t (as some may try purport)
just merely extravaganza
but provides structure, support

Easy to wax expansive in Prose
while virtuously pithy Verse
for Prose to pontificate verbose
while quatrain must read quaintly terse!

Try verse, if we must sound off at all
at least keeps the format brief & small
