[stylist] Poetry question

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Vejas,

I agree with Lynda and Jackie that you may want to create a prose poem
as opposed to a poem. While your message is great, as Jackie points out,
it has no poetical format or structure. Also, perhaps, consider
developing a rant. You could broaden this and lengthen it into a written
rant. Lynda posted about rants a while back, and I can see this evolving
into such a piece.

Vejas,
Yes, your poem has wonderful content. I tend to agree with Lynda that
you might try a prose poem format since they are "justified." Since your
lines do not have a particular meter or rhyme, it might work well. The
only way to tell is to try it. I also agree that your teacher could
assist with the issues discussed here. Good luck. Jackie
