Maybe I should have put this in the prose section.using excess wordage is one of my main problems when i do poem.
i think the poem is a poem, prose poetry is poetry, so is narrative poetry. excess wordage (verbiage) is seldom good for any poem, if it's needed it's not excess
if you meant to write a poem then this is the proper place. if you allowed me i'd show what i mean about verbiage. just by removing some of the words and not adding anythin of my own
