It's in the way that you use it.

I've mentioned wanting to get back to poems after a stretch writing fiction. I don't know that I can really control how long I focus on either fiction or poetry. It may be best not to overthink what "mode" I'm in. This may leave me free to work on whatever project presents itself, story or poem.

This morning, for instance, I submitted a poem for a pizza-themed page at Lunatic Chameleon.

UPDATE: The poem, "Pizza Cutter," has been accepted and posted here. My thanks to LC editor Nancy Purnell.
