No wait, I fucked that up.

I get overexcited by glorious poetic prose to the point where it physically releases positive hormones and is better than any drug I've ever tried.

But I just can't get into poems. I read them over and over and just think they're stupid. Not a tingle or a wiggle of excitement.

novels > lyric poetry > novellas > short stories > epic poetry > plays

I relate with this completely. I am ecstatic when I read good prose, but I'm yet to read a poem that produces any sort of reaction in me.

You probably read poems that are translated

here goes:

poetry > short stories > novellas > novels > kino > plays

I'm glad someone agrees. I think that it's potentially to do with prose having some form of intent. I know it's trying to get somewhere, to a particular point or development. If it does that in a magical way then it's like a journey. With poetry I often find that to me it feels like language for language's sake and a lot of poets try too hard.

Was metamorphosis really that good?

agree t.b.h

sometimes I read short stories by authors that never really grabbed me and I end up often liking them a lot more afterward

>Translation: I really don't have the attention span for novels, don't understand poetry, and get bored watching plays. The internet is to blame for my generation's ADD and ignorance.

>citing all the novellas you had to read in world lit in high school
