Poetry is tough! So subjective, too. Not really fair to judge what comes out. So long as it rings true for you, then rock on. I am a “free verse” kind of person. Never much cared for couplets. Keep on doing it!
Thanks, Heath! I always get lost in free verse. I find myself looking for a beat when I write, even with prose. But your stuff is great. Thanks for the encouragement!
You have a great narrative voice. Did I say that right? Anyway, I like reading what you write. What is prose? Is it just writing? Just trying to learn. Thanks Jessica. I liked the poem. I, too, like the “home” “alone” “roam”. :
Thanks, Terri. And, yes, you said it right. :) Prose, according to Merriam-Webster, is “the ordinary language people use in speaking or writing.” So, sort of the opposite of poetry. I’m not sure this “poem” is really any good; in fact, I know it’s not. But it communicated what I wanted to say, anyway.
I’ll bet your poetry is great! You don’t give yourself enough credit. And there *is* such a thing as bad poetry… I humbly thank you for liking mine. :)
Well, that made me happy.
I’m so glad! Thanks for reading!
that has got to be the skinniest poem I have ever seen.

Haha. It wasn’t intentional. I just sat down to write, and that’s what came out!
