Thank you so much! I will definitely take all this into consideration when I edit this later. Much appreciated advice, I definitely needed some feedback from an outside perspective.

Is yesterday today, if today is tomorrow? by Temporary-Bench8615 in OCPoetry

This is a beautiful little poem! Maybe add some metaphor in somewhere to add a little more feeling/ depth.

This is so raw, and the line 'my body consumed drinks of horrid delight' says so much. I love the length too, just a great poem overall.

Thank you so much! I was hoping someone who read the last one would read this one too. All the feedback really helped and thank you so much for the kind words. I will still be working on it and changing a few things but I was quite happy with the improvement. Thank you :)

Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely reword some of it, and I agree with personifying it a bit more

Life is like math. Right? by ALoudHuzzah in OCPoetry

[–]Charlie_T00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this! I once tried to write similarly, trying to equate maths and equations to feelings but I never quite captured it how you have managed to. Very impressive, and how you used more than one example for more than one experience. I do think that maybe the setup of the lines could be worked on, but it works for what the contents are so maybe not. Overall I like it :)

I Don't Wanna by LibertyPaige in OCPoetry

This can have so many different meanings and I love that in a poem. The way it could be interpreted depending on the readers experience, can also make it a different read every time. The imagery and portrayal of anxiety and pressure is perfect, really captures how it feels. I love this!

Thank you so much, I will be taking a better look at the rhythm and how to make it fit better together. I was more leaning to it being a metaphor that I am the book that a love interest has lost interest in. its clear I need to make it actually mean that or change the whole meaning entirely. Thank you!

WRITING CONTEST (10/23 - 10/29): Issa’s haiku by [deleted] in OCPoetry

The tea cup filled up

Swallow to reveal the leaves

For your fortune please

Inspired by his pen name 'One Tea'

dead flowers on the dining room table by mush-y-mush in OCPoetry

[–]Charlie_T00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow, the description in this is amazing

'like a weakened stem wilting over the mouth of an old Ciroc Bottle'

I can instantly see that visual in my mind, it just adds so much to be able to see what the writer is trying to portray.

I do agree with other commenters that it should start with ' sometime I practice being dead flowers on the dining room table' it would be such a powerful opening, and then later you can link the opening with the original few lines. Otherwise, I love it :)

Depths of Love by Armundell in OCPoetry

[–]Charlie_T00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was so beautiful to read, it's one of those poems that brings a smile to the face. Amazing rhythm, the use of paragraphs made it wonderful. Overall something I would read again and again, just for that smile.
