It actually struck me as pretty funny at the time, as it did several of the class members, so it provided us with some comic relief.
Even more, I found that writing a poem on a given topic focused my attention enough to make the nonfiction that followed much easier.
So, in the end, my poetry and prose fed one another in a way that benefited both.
