Poem or Story?
Many of us on here write and convey differently. Some use stories, and others poetry to write about different subjects. So, just for fun, pick a side. If you think stories convey more, write a poem explaining why. If you believe poetry explains more, write a story explaining why. Can be short, long, serious, funny, you pick it.

Cracked
my words in poems
are disjointed
cracking on bad structure
the hinge of the meaning
hidden in convoluted phrasing
whereas stories seem to be
more open ended
a way to put together thoughts
without losing sight
of the end result
a poem is merely
a single thought
crushed into uneven
stanzas and presented
with nothing but love
but stories are easy
to follow and lead
us to the very spot
where we left ourselves
the most vulnerable part
of prose being the telling
of how we find our way home
