...but poetry seems to be part of the story mode, when it works right. That's what works, at least for me, in Byron's narrative poems, and Browning's, etc.
I wish I could articulate it better...poetic storytelling seems to rely on the image, the cadence, the word choices of poetry in a different weight, say, than prose: like image and transition between image in anime weights differently than written-image and transition in a short story.
Blegh, I feel like I have too many fingers when I try to express this, and they are jumbling together like spaghetti.
