According to the criminal complaint, surveillance video shows Rodgers carrying a blue flag attached to a wooden flagpole as he approaches a line of law enforcement officers guarding the entrance to the East Rotunda Door. Investigators said Rodgers used his flagpole to strike a U.S. Capitol police officer three times on the helmet and then swung the flagpole twice more in the direction of officers.

More than 1,000 people have been arrested in nearly all 50 states for alleged crimes related to the Capitol breach, according to officials. More than 350 people have been charged with assaulting or impeding law enforcement.

Someone had to start the discussion in this new community, so I figured I'd give it a shot!

I discovered that I have a knack for script writing, so I usually stick to prose and focus on driving the action through my characters' dialogue. I need to work more on describing scenes in a way that isn't rooted in stage directions.

I can appreciate good poetry, but am generally not a fan of "free verse". I prefer the challenge of writing something with a meter, or has a rhyme scheme. Re-writing song lyrics is a fun way to play with that, but maybe I listened to too much Weird Al growing up.

So, if you had to pick a side... poetry or prose?
