Poem.... CW week 1
The thought of poetry usually comes with the word frilly. There are completely morbid poems that I adore. Poems are stories that are always covered with a veil. There is a wind underneath that shows bits and pieces while everything that is merely glimpsed just barely, leaving thoughts of one's on interpretation. A poem is something I have no interest in. There is a limit of what one can say. If the right word isn't always used, then it doesn't mesh well. There isn't a depth, no character building, and fitting things in the right pattern of syllables. Poetry can be in plays, Shakespeare wrote in iambic pentameter in a plethora of plays.

I agree with you micheal that poetry does lack depth and character. It limits what one writer can say not nessacerly in a good way. But sometimes poems can be very deep as well. It ultimitaly comes down to who wrote it.
