The use of short sentences makes it read faster, as though the poet is being choppy and out of breath. This increases the flow of the prose poem, especially towards the end. It does sound very poetic and includes some very poetic imagery such as ‘Stretches out like fishnet made of braided fibres’. <br /> The prose poem focuses on one very specific thing: going up into the loft. It sets up the scene to almost stop time and every focus of the poem is given to this one exact moment making it highly concentrated on one idea, as successful prose poems are. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723741463814808670noreply@blogger.com
