Poetry vs. Prose
While prose flows in paragraphs and tells a story in a straightforward way, poetry dances with rhythm, imagery, and emotion. Poetry can say in a few lines what prose may take a whole page to express. It’s about feeling as much as meaning—each word chosen with care, each line carrying weight. If prose is a conversation, poetry is a song.

Real stories. Honest verse. Straight from the heart of Richard Bell.

No rhythm, no rule—just thoughts in flight... Then I Wrote.
