You know, it’s hard enough to convince aspiring poets that their is a difference between prose and poetry to begin with, and here you go blurring the lines even further.

I can hear the excuses now. “I read this book by Mr. Womack and it sounded just like poetry to me.”

It’s just like a fiction writer not to respect the proper literary boundaries.

Seriously though, a great article. Thank you.

I think poetry is a spectacular way for writers to improve their skills in fiction, nonfiction, even copywriting. Whether you read poetry, write it, or both, it just does something to your writing that sort of makes it shine. This is a perfect demonstration of that!

I love your thought process; the way you dissected this. I find myself getting quite poetic with my writing, even when it’s non-fiction!

Plus, I love the word assonance.
