First of all, I love that Dave Matthews song ” The Space between” – saw what ya did there –
Interesting that you chose to open the poem with a slightly more structured three-line stanza, then follow that with the rest of the poem, which is more experimental, willing to take interesting risks with line breaks, cutting off the ends of words, or beginning a line with ].
What was the inspiration behind that?
Inspiration – a recent series of a confusing events told through commentary of a recent journal.
Love using LexPoMo to challenge myself (in regards to experimenting) but also the reader’s expectations of course.
Thanks for reading 🙂
