[quote=@whizzball1] I think at that point it's in the middle of poem and prose. I didn't think it was possible to write such a high-quality poem in 5 minutes. Sue me. Though, on second thought, you need only write a line a minute. I suppose it wouldn't be [i]too[/i] much of a challenge to get down rhythm and rhymes once a minute. Darn it, now I want to see how long it takes me to write a five line poem. Wish me luck. [/quote] Poetry isn't a technical art; you can write it quickly if what you're saying means something. It doesn't have to have perfect meaning, because it's the [i]message[/i] that makes true poetry, not the rhymes or rhythms you use. Doing it just to speed-write will result in a shallow poem with no depth or complexity.
