The second one did make me smile Maria! Damn but those hold-ups never worked for me and I have a memory of hoisting and shame :)

I am no poet,although I try. And no writer, although i try. And have had no formal education so don't listen to me. My question is:

What is the difference between prose and poetry?

I suppose I am confused as to WHY these offerings are poetry. Sorry. I'm autistic. Honesty is my thing.

Maybe it is because of the formatting that I don't recognise them as poems. Probably just me.

In kindness, A🙏💚
