You know, I think I will always be a prose gal, through and through. I love the control and flexiblity of it all. I mean, I love poetry but I just don't have the patience or vocabulary for it. But, there are times where nothing but poetry works. Poetry is so finely crafted and tuned that it really pierces straight to the heart. Poetry hums to the vibrations of the heart. Poetry is an emotional echo. Poetry is so much more potent than prose. And there are times when nothing but the most concentrated solutions will work. And, despite appearing smaller than prose, poetry tends to be deeper, it tends to be able to hold more. And so those times when everything is overrun with emotion and happiness, when there's so much that I don't know what to do with it all, the only option is to pack it in the wicker basket that is a poem.
.... a wicker basket that is a poem? god that was awful. See what happens... bad metaphores galore. But I'm okay with it because poetry works. And poetry loves. And I love poetry. ♥
