A good writer could construct a whole novel around that one Ron.
ReplyDeleteI've just read R.J. Waller's Bridges of Madison County and it kind of brought that to mind.
Those long-winded novelists better be careful about "blowing things up".
ReplyDeleteBut what if I should tell you that a good writer already compressed that lengthy novel into a short poem? Do we really know what position we're in?
I answered, but it didn't take. It was just a smart-aleck response, anyway, so I won't reconstruct it.
ReplyDeleteShit, there it is! Delayed reaction!
ReplyDeleteAre you having comment delay too? I've been grumbling about it at the weekend and left a question on Blogger Help. There was one other similar complaint there too. no response to either though. Must be a bug in the system.
ReplyDeleteYes, maybe you wrote a story then did a concentrated version in the form of a poem. I can see that! :-)
Not with the present material, but I did once write a short story and later came back and rendered it as a semi-erotic poem. I liked it better as a poem, though you'd think I wouldn't be able to decide!
