Journal Entry

Fireball rise red lazer ray has spear horizontal
Sending a shedding of angel wing span blessing
Busied birds converse beneath apricot mottle
From dawn huddle, welcome warmth suggesting

Splendour awaiting, drive Wednesday to Pacific
Three beach night stays after so long, a year's wait 
Travel to shore infinite, lapped sand map terrific 
Coinciding coastal followed day, I'll turn thirty eight

Egg fried ocean, toastily popped tomorrow's coast 
Simmering indigo pot turns turquoise shimmer 
Crash marvel intensified if today I'm able to boast
Comp entered in June has judged mine a winner 

Whilst very unlikely my little poem will number
Against names recognised, English professors
Threw my lines in the mix so regret slid asunder
In the year of realising poetry's divine pleasures

... No win.... Next year I'll align with their style, having found simply dropping rhyme still resembles a poem, just by having stanzas... Prose is their only choice - ACU PC.

Thank you for this article, Belden. Worthy, thoughtfully written. There's a lot for me to digest and revisit. Taking on board the need for lyricism to reign regardless of category writing falls in to. It has opened my eyes somewhat, and I definitely need to loosen up, less rigidity with concept and structure

I started writing a blog about prose poetry, ran across this article by Chard deNiord. You might find it of interest. https://plumepoetry.com/blurred-lines-some-thoughts-on-hybrid-liminal-and-prose-poetry/
