Dreamer, I'm afraid I have to agree with Wisemon.
Long poetry is not exciting, but boring. The ideal poem expresses its message, be it story, emotion, or otherwise, in a concise and accurate form. The use of variant words produces a greater impact upon the reader if you write your poetry to be read, or the listener if you write it to be heard.
I know because I also write poetry. Long poetry is better suited to storytelling than short poetry, while shorter poetry is often superior for expressing one's feelings.
[quote]348 A.A. has seen,
Only one amazing thing.
The eight year old human, being
Found by my father, Dar King.
When first in our own tongue he spoke,
So many thought it was a joke.
With the learning of magic, legends, and might,
No living thing had yet known this Knight.
Far in the north, away from all,
The girl and her parents did fall.
For Jason Knight, the call of hearts,
Did bear his love past many stars.
355 A.A. they met,
On one other, their eyes they set.
How could they know, that fateful night,
That one day both would share their life?
In year 358 he went,
Far on a quest to find a sword.
Not knowing truly what was meant,
They knew not the will of the Lord.
A dragon and the sword they found,
But moment later homeward bound.
There did they announce their plan,
The marriage of these two was near at hand.
A wedded pair, of Mage and Knight
Two humans, and in Hero
