This limit is prepost’rous
We’ve really had enough
1024 characters?
That’s really very rough!
And yet we all know, deep within our hearts
That this is micro-fiction
a different type of art.

Sure, some can write a novel, or the most epic of all poems
but those who write on FICLY
prefer their writing not to roam
So keep the limit! It forces us to be
A little more creative
With what we write, you see.
