All this time I have been more inclined to prose than poetry. Simply because prose seems to lay everything on the table. No hidden corners, or time bombs waiting to explode as much as in poetry, especially considering its relatively compact forms.

But when it does explode, it takes you to the highest elevation. To ecstasy! I must admit, it feels gooood! It fulfils more than just intellectual satisfaction.

Poetry plays with metaphors. Poetry doesn't have to obey common modes of reasoning. Reason! That is exactly what Rumi wants us to abandon. "Reason cannot stop your tears".

Lastly, poetry provides more work to do to readers. Maybe I have been just lazy all along hehehe...

Hmm.. probably I should read more poetry. More Rumi too.
