A personal essay could work. That would invite research which can shed light on things. I guess I just got sick of writing them in school and am trying to approach the topic in a less structured way. Poetry helps us explore things differently than essays and I guess I'm after the insight of the former rather than the understanding of the latter.
Dreams and thoughts are real enough, but are they truths?
I guess in all depends on how we define 'truth telling.'
We hear authors say all the time, 'my job is to tell the truth.' fiction writers say this all the time; that doesn't mean their stories are grounded in fact.
What I think lizzie is talking about is making up content for poems, not 'truth telling' as yarn spinners say.
