<p>I just had a brilliant idea for one of the essays, however, it would be incredibly tough to write as an essay. Will they accept a poem, or is that too much of a risk? BTW, I am talking about one of the extended essays.</p>
<p>You want to write a one or two page poem?</p>
<p>Why not? Go for it.</p>
<ol>
<li>You can. There is nothing stopping you, it has been done before, I highly doubt Chicago adcoms would hold the format of your essay against you, etc.</li>
<li>You are probably not as good of a poet as you think you are, and the quality of your poetry will be held against you.</li>
</ol>
<p>Take your chances.</p>
<p>^Haha, yes!</p>
<p>That as my immediate thought when I read the title of this thread.</p>
<p>I was like, poems are awesome. Bad poems are horrific. Most high school students can write better prose than poetry. Well. Up to you ;).</p>
<p>Maybe she is doing some sort of a mock epic? Hence the one-two pages.</p>
<p>I’m a male…But no that’s not really what I’m going for, thanks for the responses.</p>
<p>Sorry >< I don’t watch my pronouns closely.</p>
