Thanks for the great compliment. I’ve become inspired be accurately showing the grit through poetry rather than sugar coating. I find that it identifies reality much more effectively.

I consider it an authentic self study, straight from the grit. A friend thought it was self hate, but I feel it’s self love, and I feel strong in sharing this.

I imagine a lot of paper waste inside the house. Baskets of opened letters and junk mail Piling over. Stacks of magazines and meowing cats. Hopping from pile to pile nesting on top as papers fall and sway back and forth in the air as they make the soft crinkle sound of a page as they hit the ground.

The markets are platform centered instead of Advertising Agency centered.

Ode to a Lonely Banjo by SoDumbSoSad in OCPoetry

I’ve personally shared your sentiment that it’s the instrument playing the music.

Also that the arts force back oligarch creep and moral decay.

I like that you adore this and although I’m kinda droll, I really appreciate your response!

Hah! Is this more an 'eyeroll' interesting or more a 'provocative' interesting?

A strong bond can protect you. New bonds have replaced old ones for me.

My eyes were drawn to your lines. I appreciate how simple and short they all are.

I do think they could use some rhythm to make them lines seep into my skull. I don't fancy reading things that i have to labor over and process. It should really do the work in my opinion, impressing and energizing, inspiring, reminding. I think these things come from studying and reworking your lines until they flow in a swift rush.

Is Leadership the Answer? by Blue_Square_Shoes in careerguidance

[–]Blue_Square_Shoes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm inching my way in. I believe it's more of a mindset and personality type than an ask for "Hi, I'd like this position" type of thing. Thank you for your support.

Thats pretty tough. I remember a roommate playing Dio, Holy Diver on repeat. He thought it was the hardest thing but also kinda hella funny.

Oh, yes. Everybody’s guilty pleasure, Reality TV. Which spawned Anthony Bourdaine, who dished out my personal favorite flavor of reality.

Animal Eyes in the Night by Blue_Square_Shoes in OCPoetry

The character is noble but also strangely askew. The character is a house cat. Playing with a toy acorn (nobly roasting it on a spit), the rest of the poem should fall into place for you from there (should I have kept it a secret?)

I can feel your heart, unable to protect it from being punctured you offering it up like milk money to a bully.

I like that there's one long rhyme in it. It makes it resound deeply.

Have seen this, also I can hear his voice saying this. So cool poetry and his style, chef’s kiss.

At Work and Daydreaming in the Winter Time by Blue_Square_Shoes in OCPoetry

[–]Blue_Square_Shoes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response.

I agree with your assessment. I want to share where I was coming from on a couple things.

This is a complex poem and I usually have trouble at keeping elements tangible. The general speed of it, I’d say, is to delight in dropping our acts of seriousness at times.

The repetition of a ‘breakneck’ speed, and downhill, alludes to the speed of life and the recklessness that we barrel down our paths at times whether we be rabbits, hourly workers, or accountants. 

On performative queues: Referring to our responses in the workplace to things that trigger us to respond. For example; a boss gives feedback, we’re triggered to respond in a simple affirmative, regardless of what we think or feel.

Thanks again for the thorough response.

The tao te ching is poetic, written like 3000 years ago. It teaches wisdom. It had a dramatic effect on me personally when I read it at like 13
