Prosody

It has often been my folly,
when set upon a task of words,
to ramble, to explore the tangents
that graze the sides of my topic,
though they reside somewhat
beyond my task. I wonder
how much I might accomplish
if I did not wander,
but just wrote clearly
what needed to be said.
But what might I miss?
