Just a theory. Trouble is, I, like another poster below, like haiku. That's short and cute for you. Best thing going with a little plum wine and an ofuro and a comely wench. Sonnets are not eally short and cute.
Sonnets are in-between, like novellas.
Too long for a short story and too short for a novel. They are like reading wiring diagrams for IBM through a keyhole on a dark night. Personally I enjoy a good limerick. And I'd stick to beverages that are also food if not fermented. This moderating business is not all it's cracked up to be.
