: Re: Need a bit of verse in my prose I am an (aspiring) fiction writer. I write prose. However, every so often, I run into a need for poetry. I might need a prophecy, or a ritual blessing, or
My recommendation is to... read poetry, then learn and practice writing it. I think you'll find that nothing will improve your prose writing like studying and writing poetry. This depends on how much effort you put into it, of course, but not only will you have some nice (short? your stories can refer to excerpts instead of entire works..) verse but you'll develop imagry, mood, metaphor, etc.
