no subject
Although I will say that it does annoy me when people throw line breaks in for no reason, but at times they can be used well. The create tension, sound, etc. However, that is the difference between being a good or bad poet, rather than writing poetry vs. not.
I personally prefer form poetry, my favorite ones to write being the villenelle. Although I have gone into modern poetry langauge at time. Depends on the poem itself, really. (My favorite thing to do is to take the beats of my favorite song and write poetry to match the beats. It's fun!)
As for writing poetry about a specific thing in fandom, I have always felt... meh about it. The issue is that poetry is supposed to transcend borders. It either tells it's own story, or it bypasses the story to communicate emotions. When those emotions are about a fictional character that does not itself transcend things, then it is very hard to relate to or to interpret in different manners, both things which are hallmarks of poetry.
That is why mythology is such a popular tool for poets, becasue it is something that most people will recognize. It transcends time and culture, and is very primal in how it connects to people. Specific characters from specific fandoms? Not so much.
...What? I was a creative writing minor. I can write whole essays on this shit.
