[quote=glossakai]on one hand emotionless poetry is stale on the other, emotion saturated poetry tends to be blind. I am wary of writing when emotions are surging. often times, its simply framing an image into words. Take William Carlos Williams "The Rose" (i think Fancy would agree). This is in my opinion where prose/poetry/lyric begins. Thats my inspiration: good prose. Or, along with that, accepting the challenge of originality, of making something your own, putting a rose into your own words through your own eyes.  [/quote]
