If you like the precision and concision of poetry, a page of prose is unsatisfying in a certain way. And poetry is so direct.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I guess I find the boundaries between poetry and prose to be somewhat permeable.
Lately, I've been thinking about the difference between poetry and prose, and as I've experienced it, poetry is insistent. It allows for images and statements to operate in a single space and resonate powerfully without the application to be elaborated upon and narrated.
However, if a poem can be reduced to a prose sentence, there can't be much to it.
From the reader's view, a poem is more demanding than prose.
Great poetry does not have to be technically intricate.
I think poetry is able to say things in such a small, perfect way that are so hard to say. I think it's a perfect medium for expressing difficult ideas and concepts and feelings. It's one of my great loves.
Poetry is as precise a thing as geometry.
Poetry is fascinating. As soon as it begins the poetry has changed the thing into something extra, and somehow prose can go over into poetry.
Poetry is at least an elegance and at most a revelation.
I think poetry should be read very much like prose, except that the line breaks should be acknowledged somehow.
