I posted a poem (not my own) on Twitter. It received 100+ likes, circulated nicely, & someone commented: "This is prose."

I didn't respond & don't plan to, but now I'm going to start practicing the opposite of this: finding a beautiful paragraph or a lovely post & commenting "This is poetry."

if you've seen the film "The Phantom Tollbooth" (1970), there's a scene quite a bit like this, that stuck in my brain.

digital sketch of a simple figure in dark shirt and light pants, one arm reaches and points towards the sky, the other stretches behind the body, holding a conductor's baton; all around the figure in the upper parts of the work, is a brilliant cloud sky in oranges pinks and yellows. the work is signed "sp."
