how can you phrase an assumption poetically?

Question

that lakeside is actually busier in traffic compared to orchard (of which orchard is generally assumed by the norm to be busier?)

Answer 1

although has been widely thought that orchard is busier,
lakeside's more frequent traffic goes undetected

Answer 2

Refrain from the usage of the word "actually" because
that implies definitive rather than assumption.
In the context of poetry I would consider the flow of
a lake and the stationary ground adjacent to a lake
as compared to stationary fruit on the vine and
mobile fruit perhaps rolling from the vine.

An Assumption



You like the dark things,

all covered with barnacles

like a mussle-shell.

Drawn to death,

you are in-folded

like a casket.

Streets damp with blood,

whores painted to walls

like murals.

The moon is a distraction,

not neon stars, not

theater strangers—

Two men

hug you with smoke:

assume your value

by the

way

you

reflect

light.

Answer 4

The concrete jungle
Harsh, noisy and grey
Unforgiving and drab

The lakeside
cool, sylvan and verdant

The orchard
Hectic and congested

Yes, study shows that lakeside
The cool verdent lakeside
IS far busier
Than the presumed orchard

We must rethink our attitude towards this

Answer 5

lakeside and orchard huh?....are streets in the suburbs starting to get busy?

Answer 6

Unless you are writing for a creative writing course, I would steer clear of expressing such notions poetically.

Writing "flowery" text often works against individuals in academic settings.

Answer 7

dunno
