J. R. DePriest :verified_trans: :donor: :Moopsy: :EA DATA. SF:<p>I'm a member of a local writers' group and we have meeting once a month (in person and over Zoom for those who can't or don't wish to be there in person).<br>This previous weekend's meeting's speaker was giving a talk about poetry.<br>But she introduced me to something I didn't know existed: prose poetry.<br>My prose often has poetic elements embedded throughout. I also try to put the reader inside the thoughts of the people in my stories using stream of consciousness. I often intentionally leave things out so the reader can fill it in with their own experience.<br>I had no name for what this was. I just know most people don't like it. They want straight prose with commas and quotation marks and line breaks and sentences that explain things fully.<br>My wife doesn't even like the way I write and she can read an entire novel in a couple of days (more impressive because she has suffered chronic migraine / daily persistent headache for a decade).</p><p>But this speaker talked about "prose poetry" which describes my usual style almost perfectly.<br>I'm so excited to have a name for it! It may help me find contests and publications that will actually want to include my works. I've gotten so many rejections that I'm getting disheartened. But I'm submitting my stuff to places expected straight prose and that's not what this is.</p><p><strong><em>Anybody have publications that are receptive to "prose poetry"?</em></strong></p><p>Also, I'm going to be buying this book as soon as I get paid again: <a href="https://rosemetalpress.com/books/the-rose-metal-press-field-guide-to-prose-poetry/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Prose Poetry</a><br>I may just put it on credit and buy it now.<br>Any other suggestions for books about prose poetry?</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ProsePoetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProsePoetry</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writers</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WritersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WritersOfMastodon</span></a></p>

🖤📃🖋️

We don't talk about God or faith, we don't talk about sex. All we do is pretend that we are this and that in the world of illusions and lies.

I felt so tired of justifying and explaining my faith that in the end the sound of spiritless voices became deafening. Not talking about Christianity or Church but faith in something greater them myself.
Maybe I am wrong, maybe I am delusional but I can't help feeling how I feel.

Lost my way, neglected gratitude and prayers, fell down the rabbit hole but I climbed back up again.

Life is not a straight line but a road full of ups and downs.

~ Iva
