Poetry or Prose

Published on 20 June 2025 at 11:13

I composed six works that I categorize as poetry. My I Speak for the Earth series of free text poems expresses my feelings about the natural world. Readers may either agree with my interpretations or form their own, as intended. Nonetheless, my works contain the ingredients to be called poems. However, there are those who would argue that what I wrote is really prose. The internet is full of articles that differentiate the two. Their authors aim to show various distinctions that would categorize them as prose. But unless you’re a student of word distinction and form, who cares? Sit back, relax, and read each line and I’m certain you’ll bring forth your own thoughtful enjoyment, as intended.
