I've always disliked poetry. Partly because I'm no good at the style, and partly because I could never understand whatever the hell the poets were writing about in AP English prompts. To me, poems lacked the flow that I liked in writing prose. My writing style relies so much on this fluidity that it sickens me sometimes.
Poems punctuate their emotions. The flow is different, sometimes disrupted and disorderly. Lonely adjectives. A spray of more words.
While I was thinking about writing blogs again, I realized how much effort it would take to write the way I was used to. All I really wanted to do was spew and spew, I didn't want to make a pretty essay. I just wanted to spew. Poems would have worked.
Still, I can't quite make the conversion. Poetry still seems too foreign to me, so for now, I'll stick to prose.
