On Epic

I call this a prose poem. It's more of an open letter written in line and verse. Thoughts?

This poem is just a jumble of thoughts expressed
in passing




I have been wanting to write a modern epic
Of importance utmost, it must be epic
It will also feature characters;

Myself, perhaps.

Should it include my characteristic

formatting?

Should there be a love story?

If so, who in my life would it be based on? 

The answer to that question could potentially be awkward.

Should there be a master, teacher dynamic,

Such as with Virgil and Dante?

I think I already know the answer to that question.

What the hell would a modern epic look like,

If I were to write one?

Now that,

Is a question.

[Terpsichore]

When you transpose thoughts to words, you effectively become part of the poetic gesture in existence at any given time. Poetry in its multi transitional expressionism builds a communication from one heart to another that touches the core essence through the means we know as art; and poetry, first spoken, then written, is the oldest of all the arts.

It is the beauty, the ugliness, the whole gamut of human emotion and experience shared. Styles and motifs change, but that is mere fashion, so the actual art of poetry is never lost, it simply evolves, in the same way our kind is evolving to meet the challenges of this new technological era. Old becomes new, new becomes old, and we are all artists of a kind. A chalk scribble on a wall, or Wordsworth's 'Daffodils,' of equal value and merit.

Now, go write an epic, there's plenty of fodder available.

You're awesome. This is more than hilarious. "formatting"


Ha. Where have you been?

[JT Godin]

I've been out, considering formatting.

That is a question.. good luck. I hope it turns out wonderfully.

All starts with the idea, thought or spark and then the wording and formatting. As long as you express your thoughts and feelings then you can twerk them at the end. Excellent questioning...:).........
