PROSE POETRY

I haven't written much prose poetry but it allows me to express my thoughts in a conversational way. Some thoughts cannot be expressed in just a few stanzas.

Several years ago I wrote a long poem about a particular year in my life. It touched upon everything I experienced that year. It was tumultuous to say the least. I emerged through that time with a clearer picture of what changes would have to be made in my life.

As a writer I am able to see how past, present, and future are intertwined. I can't tell you how many times each one has helped me to see how life is in that particular moment in time.
