#24
So, I've tried to begin working on my prose poem for next week and I seem to be stuck. I'm so used to writing poetry in poetry form that I don't know what to do. The minute amount of work I have accomplished so far, just seems like a regular poem to me. I'm going to be honest I do not like the form. I think poetry should be poetry. "The best words in their best order" The the language of poetry should also be condensed. I do not do very well writing stories anyway, so I am terrified of next week. If anybody has any suggestion on how to make this any easier... POST IT. Ha-ha.

Now I do not condone cheating. I like this form it's fun. I think it'll be intersting next week. good luck with your poem.
ReplyDeleteProse poems can still be "the best words in the best order." Their order is just different to your eye. Maybe you could try writing a story in a stanza structure, like quatrains, and then just take out the spaces when you are finished. This might help you keep the sounds of poetry while still having the unique narrative nature of a prose poem. Good luck!
