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 22nd September

... 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/
