poetry or prose?

[joreth]

I wrote out a few thoughts one day because they were running circles in my brain, banging against the walls of my head, begging to be let out.  So I let them out.  What emerged came out in this unusual form that sort of resembled a poem, but not quite.  I suck at writing poetry, but this wasn't quite prose either.  So I asked someone for their opinion on this writing, and described it's curious mixed heritage.  His response after reading it was "Walking the line between 'poetry' and 'laundry list' "

I decided that summed me up pretty accurately.

Sums this (http://www.bu.edu/favoritepoem/poems/williams/) up pretty well, too. Never understood why people called it poetry, never understood why people said it wasn't.

I'm still waiting for the "IM IN UR ICEBOX EATING UR PLUMS" LJ-icon.
