Form query

[julzperri]

Hi everyone, me again back with another poetry question - and yes, it's about the same poem that my last referred to. It seems I've really challenged myself with this one.

As it stands the poem is definitely a poem, but it reads rather like prose. However - I wouldn't be happy to present it as a prose poem as the line breaks are important, despite the lines being quite long and the tone being informal.

Is there a form I'm looking for... or should I work to either make the whole poem a prose poem or otherwise formalise the language so it doesn't read quite so 'prosey'.

Am I being quite confusing?

When art can't follow form, form must follow art. Someone else probably said it better or I may have snatched the quote from somewhere that my brain cannot reconnect to.
If I have inappropriately snatched this from someone else without due credit...my apologies.

I'm betting @TexasPoet knows the answer to that question
