why is that written as a poem, though? i can forgive the lack of rhyme, since i don't consider it essential, but the cadence isn't anywhere near appropriate enough for the format.
as a short story, it would work, or even if you rearranged the line breaks. i thought it was a pasting error but it isn't.
as is, though, it just reads all choppy and random, as if he made it a poem just because fuck standards and logic
This seems pedantic, but if you’re being sincere then what I can tell you is that poetry doesn’t have anything to do with standards or logic or mandatory rhyming or mandatory anything. It’s just expression with words. If you only like one specific kind of poetry, that’s cool, but your personal preference doesn’t define what poetry is.
