Domke Or Billingham Should People Who Write Prose Try Poetry?

Should people who write prose try poetry? - domke or billingham

Life is capricious Travel
By Warren Domke

Return to the road, I drove
I see hundreds of faces
Hundreds of other places.
Twists and turns
Ups and downs.
Sometimes they were highways,
I walked faster
Sometimes there were roads,
Sprinkle with sellers of fruit and vegetables
With picnic tables, with parks, small shops,
In the places and people to share time
Never again.

How often should I choose?
In exchange, production,
Which way to go to an intersection?
How different life would be
If I had made different decisions?
If there are different people,
Different experiences
Several children
The different fates of my trip?

We trapped our own destiny,
You and I
We drive on our roads
We have our choices,
The places and faces were those who voted,
Or were elected by us.
Use different ways to different faces,
Various locations.
How sad that he never learned to know 'til now.

But I am well traveled.
My children, they comfort me.
The places and faces I have known,
Bring Me Joy.

When someone an "author", you try to write in all styles available, including poems. That does not mean that someone is good or in good prose will never be a poet. You need to prove ", but there is a difference between poetry and prose, between prose and poetry in prose ... Although this line is the subject of the article more than one (written in prose, of course).

Why the two interchangeable? The reason is simple and complex: the ability to articulate prose does not mean that the author the opportunity to compounds that are not obvious or linear, or the ability to increase the range of the devices has to make poetic use to define 'poetry. It is true that many poets write veryarticulate articles on a variety of topics, but it is also true that some publishers and authors of best-sellers seem incapable of writing poetry, more poetry than prose. One thing to say, "the mountains were formed at a time when banks have stepped up by the forces of continental drift and platetectonics" and another said: "The giant snow were lifted on the shoulders of a piece of torture on earth before mankind crawled out the primordial sea "... or to say, "The sky is brilliant with fuchsia, pink and red lights as the sun set behind the mountains of the desert" and "the sky was burning, he played electric lines end of the day in the desert." Personification, metaphor, allusionAnd a number of other devices that could "their way into the toolbox of a successful author of prose, also missing ... can not very well for the poet.

Your poem is poetic prose, the line between poetry and prose, crosses, and it is clear that one can articulate concepts and situations ... The question is, can condense in his poem of 12 lines that the image to convey the same idea to create? Why 12 Lines? because it is a good place to start. Think about the words you say "... the "show" ... Create pictures or combinations of words that are not linear, in order to express what you are doing so well expressed in the poem continues. Your message is well put, but I think we can do both if you go to leave toImages and further from the prose.

Just a few tips for a good writer, when, on something that will help to test their skills and broaden their view of things would want to try.

Write more and more ...

Two thumbs up, Warren.

And yes, people should write in prose poetry to be treated, and vice versa. You never know when you can not, or if you do not try.

I think people are allowed to write poems, because people always ask people, like life, if the Millini!
Hope that helps

I recommend this context, the poem has such good diction. I have several projects to develop in which burnered song writing after extensive research on the topic of the songs, and I did not bother to rhyme, like writing for me is essential (for the presentation of the issue of history is an auti thing - most would not) understand it. Other composers of the rhyme by heart, as a comparison.

This is great. Whence comes the prose and poetry begin? Must be a fine line between the two. I think it is a poem that is the internal rhyme, alliteration and repetition full - I'm sure he would have written differently if it is a work in prose.
It is still the Road Not Taken by Robert Frost for the approval!
I have not seen his work before, so I hope to see more (determined without rhyme!)
