: 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

That is a good question.I will try to give my two cents to help you a bit.

When writing prose,it is the power of your imagination that enables you to produce a masterpiece.When it comes to poetry, only the strength of your emotion(feeling) regarding a particular subject matter can save you.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words-Robert Frost.

You cannot write poetry with a cold heart.You must feel it.The emotion must burn in you.It is those flames that give life to your poem.

You may want to write a poem that has a happy mood ,yet you don't feel happy.That is where your imagination comes in.
And you must choose your words well to ensure they represent your meaning well.

Bottom line is -Emotion.If you feel it,the words will come,and your reader will feel it too.

A poem begins as a lump in the throat,a sense of wrong,a homesickness,a lovesickness-Robert Frost.

All the best
