Getting my poetic on.

Or words to that effect…

I don’t know whether it is a good thing or not, but I have been posting some of my ramblings to a new Instagram account I recently set up (@jmjacksonwrites) and, in doing so, it has opened up a new writing style/method/mode/sais pas for me.

Let’s call it.. something like.. poetry? Poetic prose? Words across multiple lines with poetic.. qualités, n’est-ce pas?

Call it what you will, it condenses thought into short, sharp razor blades. I love it.

The visual aspect of Instagram has nudged me to think a little more about layout and form. I can only view this as a positive.

Despite the trash floating around Instagram, I have found that there are many accounts laying down insightful words, both prosaic and poetic. These serve as both inspiration and motivation.

Medium has been great for me in developing a tiny little network of mutual appreciators. It looks like Instagram may help me expand that tiny little network into an ever so slightly less tiny network.

Come and join me if you dare.

Onwards!
