Poetry verses the Short Story
They said that poets are a self indulgent lot,
Putting down our deepest darkest thoughts
Expunging our soul with a few simple lines upon a page
I like short stories
Hit them hard and fast
Let the deeper dark parts remain hidden behind the flow of words
As the eye scuttles along,
Absorbing ideas so fast,
That the reader’s heart seems to hardly have chance to beat
Until the last full stopped has come to pass
Each new line, so define,
Building an ideas in the mind
Bolting out all sense of time
So yes poetry is good
With your clever verse,
Spacing and pacing lyrically until the reader is lost
But the short story
Short and Sharpe, has truly won my heart.
Of course as you read
Do you not question the form of the prose used?
