Thanks for the feedback, Dave. I might have just discovered my favourite poetic form!

Prose poems are melodic and flow beautifully without sacrificing detail and clarity of thought. Form poems, on the other hand, leave so much unsaid that it's quite possible to come up with totally opposite interpretations of the very same poem.

Are there certain subjects where form poems work better than prose poems? Or do these forms exist solely to test one's poetic wit? *Laugh*
