I too was a student of poetry and wrote poetry all through junior high and high school. I lost it in college, but came back to it in my late twenties and early thirties. It wasn't until I started writing fiction again in my late forties that I also sought out poetry again. The language is what always captures me--making that perfect picture or metaphor with so few words. It is a true talent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141896152701041164.post-70996351067167675862008-12-19T13:56:00.000-08:002008-12-19T13:56:00.000-08:00I love that line "is a gateway drug that leads to ...I love that line "is a gateway drug that leads to fiction". ha!

I like how you describe that poetry "...also leads to the love of language and tight imagery..."
