You may have asked yourself, "Why does Jason write so much in a free-verse poetic style?" The answer is the word "free." I write full-fledged papers and essays for school...not for fun and definitely not for blogs...not when I'm free to write whatever I want, how I want it.
It's nice to not be forced to fully explain my thoughts in ways coherent to people other than me. Free-verse leaves at least some of the interpretation up to the reader. It leaves a pinch of mystery. It's a conversation starter. "So what did you mean when you said..."
So again, "Why does Jason write so much in a free-verse poetic style?" Why not rhyming poetry? Or just rambling paragraphs? I don't really know. Well, I actually borderline hate rhyming, so I know the answer to that one, but the rambling paragraphs? I think the formatting and structure of a poem can say as much as the poem's words. Rambling paragraphs are just that - rambling paragraphs with no structure, no meaning in the layout, no attention to detail, no suggestions for how the piece ought to be read. Solution: free-verse poetry. Maybe I should have written this more like a poem...
The end.
Jason
