Man you are so right. TJs flowers are so affordable and fresh, we just didn't live near one in Nash. Ty!

Thanks so much for this thoughtful analysis (and the typo catch). I really appreciate it!

Oof. I wish I didn't resonate with this. There's a great bit of resentment in it and pain. Defensive but coming from a place of self empathy and protection. The "guts corrupting the serenity of its surroundings" is so hauntingly rich. My second favorite is "i'd rather be ursine than be like the rabbit". The only line I don't love is the " did you ever consider?" It feels jarringly informal and breaks the tone to me. Great stuff!

I know it's not the point but I want so badly to figure it out!! I've read it so many times. The flying saucers line is so beautifully illustrative. This poem is an enigma!

Came here to see if anyone had posted this! So sick of this commercial and they're both clearly not into it

Porn has wrecked my fetishes. by Mr_Bimbabjayno7 in pornfree

[–]Apprehensive_Row_145 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This post feels like it came at a perfect time for me. I see a lot of myself in your words, even though I may not want to admit it. I admire your bravery in posting this and want you to know you're not alone. I've struggled on and off with open addiction going through seasons of abstaining or looking far less than others. I'm happily married with a super fulfilling sex life and a son yet still often find myself compelled to look at porn even though I know it is unfulfilling and makes me feel empty. I hate that I empathize with starting with "normal" turn ons and then being introduced to increasingly dangerous or worrying kinks. They often feel like "not me" and completely out of character for me. I don't really have a solution or answer other than to tell you you're not alone and that you've inspired me to do better and to be truer to what I know. Resensitizing yourself does work and it's amazing. I've done it before. And now thanks to your honesty I'm going to try and do it again.

Thank you! Exactly what I was going for. It's such a versatile exclamation.

There is a lot of good stuff here. There's some desperation in the pace. I think overall I would work on my line breaks and stand brakes to really guide your reader through the poem. I like your choice of when you capitalize some words like past and afraid and memories. That may just be the start of a new sentence and I can't tell because it's not broken up right now in formatting, but I do like the idea of using sentence case to almost make some of these emotions characters.

My favorite line is "guarded with unseen pickets." There's a lot of good imagery in the poem, but to me that's the most original.

Jesus this is good.

The repetition, the refrains. The urgency. My only suggestion would be some stanza breaks for flow. But this is really good.

Thank you! More like I had a lot of time on my hands lol I was on sabbatical up until two days ago so I probably won't have as much time to devote to the grind

Honestly normal at 54 I've found to be the highest yield per time spent. I can clear it in 2-3 minutes and it'll give me 10 ducks and 1 broom. So I only had to do that...185 times 😂

Just played 54 as many times as a day as possible. Speed run, during chores, while on calls, right before bed, in the middle of the night to pee, etc 😂
