(A .pdf file needs Adobe Reader on your computer. If you don't have it, you can go to www.adobe.com to download and install their <b>free</b> reader.)

Answer 2

Just get rid of words you don't need or that are insignificant, keep key words. Say you have a 500 word piece, get it down to 400, 300, 200 etc. Then put it into stanzas and break up into lines.
