Thanks a lot, I am trying to use yours an Rowens advice to develop something more "definable".Certainly, longer poems are fine. I have read the Odyssey and Divine Comedy years ago. I was referring to this one. However, looking forward to your epic as well.
As a Novice in poetry i would like to propose a question in statement, that of my own perspective and thoughts of "expression" and writing poems
I understand the "direct in description" stand point, basically the shorter the poem, the less grandiose you are in abstraction and the more impeccable your point comes across, the better.
THis might sound dumb, but hell..
What about long poems?, not just 2-3 " stanzas...
isn't sometimes telling a story of emotion, not so metaphorically "short" but detailed with many different "clues" of feelings and emotions, description rolled out in descriptive detail, painting the picture for the audience?
Just a thought..
