I think that poetry is like a jail cell in the sense that it
is a very difficult and long process, but can be very rewarding when you get
out. A Jail cell has walls, but a poem has specific parameters that you have to
follow, whether you are writing in a haiku, or a free-verse poem with a
specific rhyme scheme. This can be very frustrating, and sometimes you wish to
lash out and give up. But if you do that, then you will end up having even more
time in jail, or have to spend more time writing your poem.
Another
correlation between the two is work ethic. If you put in the hard work and
spend lots of time on editing, you can almost make good poem even faster! But if
you slack off, and spend little to no hours working then you will take longer,
and have a bad poem. If you are bad in jail, then you will have to spend even
more time in jail (not good). But if you put in community service hours, and be
very good, then you will be released early. These are the main reasons why I
think that poetry is a long and strenuous process; one that is very rewarding.
