Stupid poem

[researcher]

I hate writing poetry. I feel very inadequate at it...I prefer the freedom of prose, the ability to write everything I want, in nice logical sentences

It's interesting that you feel more "free" in prose than in poetry. It's the exact opposite for me; I vastly prefer writing poetry because I feel free from the constraints of plot, and chronology in general.

MOre than anything, I think (and write) in complete sentences, without the forms or patterns of poetry. So, prose comes a lot more easily to me.

And, plot and chronology are by no means necessary (for lack of chronology, see Slaughterhouse Five.)
