Prose or Poem

So i can write. That is news. Sadly, i have not a poetic bone in my body. Some say that poetry is the language of love, not Spanish. But looking at it from a writer's perspective, prose is the language of love. look at how many romance novels are on your supermarket shelves these days, and how many women swoon over them as they imagine an improbable and impracticable prince coming to sweep them off their feet, mounting a large black steed(or Ford Mustang, whichever comes first).
So comes the question, does one really have to write poetry to get recognized as a writer in Kenya???

hey.ive always loved the power of prose.words when captured in prose afford endless possibilities.I appreciate poetry...but there's such an intensly delicate simplicity to words in prose that just lays it all right there...
