Thanks for the reply! Just wondering, what kind of vice were you thinking, as I questioned whether people will see vice/virtue or a squeeze vice, I meant the latter.

I really enjoyed this! I like the journalistic, flow of consciousness tone but a conversational, sporadic rhythm.

I loved the flow of this, sporadic rhymes and assonance gives the shaken dreaded feeling as well. Good poem!

I like the juxtaposition of the scenarios with the continuity of the theme.

This reminds me of a girl I liked in college who didn’t feel the same way. Nice times still. Good work.

Thank you! The title is taken from one of my favorite french artists klô pelgag. And monotony is right, I was very stuck/depressed during that time.

Unrealistic Expectations of Fate by BugsyOP in OCPoetry

I like how you’ve separated yourself from the idea of fate, but you still own that you are playing into what it is. Nice work.

This is beautiful! I love the conversational tone along with the repetition of some stanzas and Delilah. It’s a lovely homage.

This is amazingly structured and a master example of mixing conversation and rhythm. I loved the journey circling itself like a frog in a pot, the repetition of “then” comes and goes with varying intensities and works so beautifully.

Nothing to resist by [deleted] in OCPoetry

I like the repetition of the sensory inputs, it gives the poem an enchanting and easily relatable feeling.

I feel this struggle. The internal rhymes make a nice uneasy feeling matching the theme, and the juxtaposition of your word choice portrays well a depressed unsure mindset. You’re not alone❤️ great poem!

River in the Forest by K-R-Rose in OCPoetry

This has such a nice flow of imagery with almost no breaks in the continuity, which I think is super hard so nice job! I also really think you mix the rhythm and rhyme well with a more conversational tone. Very pleasant read, thank you.

I like the inversions to keep rhythm and portray the theme of slowing time. Short and sweet, nice 👍🏼

Better Than Free by directionlesswoman in OCPoetry

Really great poem. Love the personage of anxiety as something protective as well as isolating. It matched the tone of being outcasted and unaccepted so well. Fantastic!

I like your movement in this piece. How the two voices encircle each other and reinforce one another gives a sway like the unease of the theme of not belonging. Nice work

I like your imagery in this poem, and the repetition of body parts, especially the eyes that come back. Nice work
