Both can be intimidating. From I to You is a form I'd never go for, personally, but then I have an irrational hatred for second person, and I can only do first person in certain cases. I've got issues.
It's not the format of the poem. I can read the poem fine. I can't comprehend poetry to save my life. I do better with lyrics because they're usually simple and/or have music to lend to their understanding, but poetry fries my brain every single time. I have accepted that poetry and I will never get along. I'm okay with that. Prose and I get along, so that's good.
Well, I hope you have fun writing it. And maybe they'll be happier in this AU.
I am not sure publishing would help with anything. It turns me into a nutcase more than anything else. There's still a part of me that thinks I shouldn't let that massive backlog I've acquired out into the world and should keep them locked away on hard drives rather than show them to anyone. I'm still trying to get one out this week, but we'll see if I have another meltdown before then.
