To move from discussion of the classics to discussion of the personal.. I wonder if anyone else has had a similar experience to mine. I've been writing poetry off and on for most of my life, but it is only within the past couple of years that anything longer than 50 lines or so has come from my pen.
I never consciously attempted to write longer poems. It just started to happen. I have considered it to be, perhaps, an indication that my voice is maturing. Or maybe I just have more to say.
Anyway, I was just curious as to whether this is common.
