Double shame because writing poetry feeds into my short stories. Writing poetry exercises certain muscles in the noggin that I don't exercise when writing prose. Also, several of my stories started life as a poem and I know that this is the case for other writers and poets too. So poetry = good.
Congratulations, Deborah! It's lovely to have a new poem included in something. I know what you mean though about not writing poems - mine have gone out the window with writing, blogging and book promotion all taking priority! It happens.
ReplyDeleteYes, poetry = good; and DW poetry = double good.
ReplyDeleteCongrats. Yes, poetry and a more poetic use of language certainly feeds in to other writing. I should do more, too. Note to self.
