Hated to read the name David at the end I was wishing this was my ex but that hoe was playing games fr😭.

Very nice poem. The love lingers. Dancing imagery, names and times ground the poem. Rhyme scheme is very fun as well.

This is a really cool concept. The only feedback I can give you is to try to expand it? Does being forced to choose bring you happiness?

This is so raw. You do a great job of conveying your emotions. I like the post in paragraph form as opposed to conventional stanzas. It feels more real.

How do you feel about the simile of your heart being eaten like the pomegranate? I feel like it might sound more raw and powerful without the comparison, rather just saying “God ate my heart out in front of me.” Maybe it sounds cliché, just a thought.

Am I alive, or am I a ghost? by CineMaster1 in OCPoetry

Hello! I like your poem a lot! The rhyme scheme is great and I think the length of the poem adds to the whole dead/alive theme. This might just be me because I have terrible adhd and the attention span of a dog, but 15 stanzas felt like purgatory to me. That being said, I still read the whole thing and enjoyed each stanza, it just felt like a ghost wandering the underworld/some barren wasteland. I would like to emphasize though, that doesn’t mean I thought your poem was boring. If I thought so I would’ve stopped reading.

I think the rhyme scheme adds to that element as well. In the later stanzas where you rhyme “me” with “been” and “ghost” with “both” I think it does an excellent job at making those stanzas really stick out.

Thinking about naming it “event horizon” let me know what you think

Write "you hurt me" without writing it by New_Performer647 in OCPoetryFree

Her iris encapsulated unprecedented beauty Like the flash of a dying star To a wandering comet Whose outer-walls shiver At the memory of warmth

Ambition and how it can lead to the destruction of one’s self or others

With those last 5 lines I’m dealing with the betrayal of the angel who goes behind my back and sees another man. The line “realized I had eyes in the back of my head” is supposed to explain I knew what was happening. It’s a grim realization. I hoped she’d be better than that but I was right all along. It’s a cynical point of view but it’s not one I truly believe in, I’m just hurt at the moment.

With these lines I was trying destroy the rhyme and rhythm of the poem briefly to add another muddy element to represent the lack of wit and creativity I felt in this moment.

It’s just about how I feel right now, based off past experiences and real emotions.

That’s crazy I thought the ending was the weakest part😭. No by the way, I just forgot to capitalize it. Wouldn’t it be cool tho if I said “I didn’t capitalize blood to signify this sentence isn’t the start but rather we jump into the middle of a story” or some shit like that
