You've never heard of Baron von Richthofen? Try saying it in a comedy German accent, it might ring a bell then.

 

[luka]

Is it The Red Baron? I've heard of him I think.

 

[craner]

Yeah.

 

[luka]

Gus, just be normal. Don't write a poem about the Red Baron.

 

[craner]

That's the best advice you'll have all day.

 

[sus]

Why do you want to force yourself to write poems?

I don't I like doing them but I would like not to embarrass myself

[craner]

Honestly, trying to learn to write poetry probably won't improve your prose, which is already excellent. You'd just be wasting time that would be better spent writing more and better prose.

 

[luka]

Craner thinks, and I probably agree, that the two modes are mutually exclusive you can be good at one or the other but not both.

 

[craner]

I couldn't write a decent poem to save my life.

Really, my prose is excellent?? 😍😱😵

 

[sus]

Why are they different what is the gap I can come to terms with my own limitations but I want to understand their parameters

 

[luka]

It's very simple. I have a beautiful pure innocent soul so I write poetry. Craner has a worldly soul, the wheezing, cackling soul of an unrepentant old roue, so he writes prose.

Blake's poles of Innocence and Experience.
