Battered

a Verse in 12 lines

Genuine.

Now there’s a word,

to encompass it all,

Character,

Strength,

Truth.

Now there’s a word,

much battered of late,

of fact,

not lie,

infused of Hope.

Now there’s a word!

I do like your thought process. A verse in 12 lines...the brevity delivers the poets intent quite nicely.

Thanks again Kelly!
Yes, a happy medium for lazy poets :D

Oh yes, oreos are regarded in that same way, I believe! ; )
