Classification by length

Will diminish strength

For words counted

Lose their bounty



Phrases make meaning

Some ... quite streaming

Others are short and sweet

Yet ... still retain their beat



It is something which comes

By the way the words run ...

And, then, at a certain joint ...

You know it has made its point
