These debates over what to name a rose would be amusing if
it weren't for the fact that it distracts you from its smell.
Call it 'writing' and get back to its beauty.

95% of my stuff ('stuff' by any other name...) includes a visual
element. I call it (when forced) multiple-media art.
. Notice I don't say "I'm crap at art", because to label only the visual arts as art is as proscriptive as separating prose poetry from poetic prose from prosetry from poem sausages. And let's face it, at the end of the day everything is about sausages.What does concern me more than a little bit at this point is that there seems to be some rather medieval idea that format has something to do with whether or not something is poetry. So:
Quote:When you and I were summer and the sky was greyer than the green that grew between my linden and your oaken strength serene, eternal as the shadows passing by, you whispered me a question. My reply was lost upon the winds of might-have-been -- for change must come to every tranquil scene and gifts from gods are not what they imply. Forever is a dream lost to the dawn and temples fall to dust beneath the years, as roses split the stones and oceans dry; yet boughs will bend and brave the tearing thorn to claim the scars as treasured souvenirs, and laugh until the summer: you and I.
... does this make it prose?
It could be worse
