Sometimes when I run across a bit of prose that seems particularly poetic, I like to experiment with seeing what it would be like as a poem. This one is from a love letter.
My Love For You Tonight
by Katherine Mansfield
My love for you tonight
is so deep and tender
that it seems to be
outside myself
as well.
I am fast
shut up
like
a little lake
in the embrace
of some big mountains.
If you were to
climb up the mountains,
you would see me
down below,
deep and shining —
and quite fathomless,
my dear.
You might
drop your heart into me
and you'd
never
hear it
touch bottom.
