poetry is a lot like jazz
the trick is deciding
which parts of linguistic structure you burn
and which you put a spotlight on
@LexYeen When I write for @millimax@high.cat I have a sort of internal list of quirks and patterns for how her wording and rhythm vary, the punctuation used, a per-post character limit that has to include the CW... and her native language is normally sung more than spoken.
So there are a few reasons I refer to each individual post – each little piece of the whole – as a "stanza". Blurring the lines between prose and poetry turns out to be a lot of fun!
@LexYeen @millimax@high.cat Er.... "usually" sung, not "normally". Bad word choice.
