Yes! I love the fluidity and flexibility that poetic form offers. A poem can be short like the “fleeting” thoughts and images Graves refers to, or it can be something longer and richer, like a special memory. I enjoy writing poetry with children, especially younger ones, because, once engaged, they share with me how they see the world. It is often more interesting than anything I can muster.
