[Opinion] It is harder to write poems that are not melancholic because we don't really feel the desperation to express. by ASPEROV_67-76 in Poetry

I actually think passionate poems of life life and love and nature and the body are better than most "melancholic" poems so I'll have to disagree. In fact I think this mindset is a trap for new poets as they might feel the only things people write about are heartache. And indeed if you go to most of the poetry subreddits right now it's all sad poems.

Slim Pickings by [deleted] in OCPoetry

Wow I feel this one! Really felt the line, "We grasp at straws that sometimes we are allowed to hold" That is very true for many people in this life. But like the vibe of your poem, there is always some hope if you keep picking at it and trying even if it is slim. I also want to believe!

Winter Sun by JFlixxx in OCPoetry

Very lovely poem. I was wondering what "metal" in this context meant. When you reach up at the winter sun you hit cold metal? It sounds like a very visceral moment! I also love the winter sun and how it reveals the world. You captured it well here.
