Neil Gaiman included several narrative poems in his short fiction collection Smoke and Mirrors, and that gave me an idea: There is a separate market for speculative poetry, and since I write like a poet anyway, why not re-work some of my prose into narrative poems? I took on the challenge and found it whimsical and fun--I even engaged in some word painting. Two strong narrative poems resulted from this experimentation, and they have been submitted to poetry markets.
