Poetry is the master class in this. Every word earning its place, trusting the image to do the work without explanation. Prose writers could learn so much from that discipline: the pause, the settling in, letting the moment unfold before moving to the next one. Most fiction rushes through what poetry knows to linger on. The multi-sensory detail that creates the associational leap. That's where the real magic lives. 🪄🐦‍⬛
