This is considered a poem?

Apparently so! Published by the poetry foundation, under a poem-a-day, written by a poet...I'd say prose poem, which is a thing...I'm glad I don't make up the rules! Ha!

Love this. Helpful for someone (me) who is trying to understand different writing forms. Based on your piece here, it seems I write a lot of prose poetry...it’s nice to get some clarity on what exactly I’m doing!

I went to high school with Richard. Along with Katie Walsh, he's one of the more famous Catalina alumns. He's a great poet.
