Here's the thing I've been wanting to say to you about poetry that I feel might relate to your poems. Every poem has two components, its meaning and its form (the way you use words to express your meaning). I am wondering how your poems would change if you were to express the same meaning but use different poetic forms and techniques to do so. You thought they would become longer...but maybe they'd just become different and possibly stronger poems (by which I mean even more memorable and striking).

Been thinking about this quite a lot and I will use it as an experiment the next time I poo poo, I mean write, you know what I mean. The next time I give birth.
I will let the lines come out as they want...I'll sit on them a couple days....then I'll put little clothes on them and cut their hair and show them to the world. And if I get that Jerry and Elaine reaction then I'm gonna punt the baby out the window. hehe
But no seriously I think that would be a very good exercise for me to push out a poem from my emotional place, then take time with it to work on its form. I'm sure the finished product would be stronger for it.
Very good suggestion! (as if I expected anything else from you)
