NOTE

Embrace Ambiguity for Deeper Meaning

Using the absence of punctuation in poetry fosters a multi-directional reading experience, enriching the text's impact and allowing for deeper exploration of the lines. This approach enables the poem to convey more complex meanings and evokes a sense of excitement in interpretation. The creative process involves collecting inspired phrases and ideas, which begin to resonate with each other, guiding the formation of the poem like magnets attracting one another. This method highlights the interconnectedness of thoughts and language as a driving force in poetry writing.
