They look short.
Not in a book or a publication, but when I print one of my prose poems out on my 8 1/2 x 11-inch sheet of paper with 1-inch margins, it just looks short. So much of the page is left.
(I'm typing this with one hand while I sit on the basement bathroom floor and hold my cat. This makes him happy and provides plenty of time to ponder things.)
It's not that I want to write longer prose poems. I just feel a little sheepish about all that left-over space.
Do you write in more compressed forms? (Haiku and haibun come to mind.)
Do you ever feel that, visually, the page should look fuller?
