much, maybe they are to clever for me.
Sometimes I think the boundaries of poetry are sometimes limited by the writer rather than by any written guidelines, which, in themselves are good, but not limiting. Poetry can take many forms and indeed, it is not essential that it rhymes either 2 lines at a time or even every second line. If it is flowing, so to speak, it will set a style almost naturally.

As for prose being too clever for you I would venture as far as saying probably not. Let your poetry 'happen', it is amazing how things will flow and take form.

There is a saying that goes "When the Student is Ready, the Teacher will appear." I have found this to be very much the case and the Teacher is not always someone older in chronological years

Keep writing jobee, keep sharing.
