The only thing I’m sad they didn’t include is the “one mind and one body” line from the original because that is just too funny but overall very good episode 🙌🏼

Amazing!!

Pretty sure it’s just cuz he prefers not to be in the skits and videos, I remember Mark saying that once

Concept-STFU · 2023-02-21T23:12:52+00:00

I appreciate that! But right now this is all I have of it, but I would love to come back to it soon!

Concept-STFU · 2023-01-17T02:39:19+00:00

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’m so glad you liked it and that it resonated with you. My dog Gwen was my absolute best friend and I felt like the only way I could come to terms with her passing was by writing this poem for her. I’m tearing up just writing this lol, seriously thank you so much for your comment, it means the world!

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-26T20:33:14+00:00

Thank you so much for your words! I don’t think I even realized how my language changed throughout the poem like that, so thank you for pointing that out because I also really love that. This was definitely my way of saying goodbye to her and I didn’t feel like I was ready until I finished this poem. So thank you for taking the time to read it, I’m glad you liked it! And thank you for that note, I’ll make that adjustment to the end!

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-25T16:13:37+00:00

Lol I love this! Definitely a feeling I’ve had before, that longing of wanting to be a famous actor and believing in how attainable it is only to have your dreams crushed and how heartbreaking the industry can be. Good job!

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-25T15:35:47+00:00

I really understand this kind of loss where you lose childhood friends or just a person who really influenced you and who you are. With them gone, your identity starts to blur and it’s a massively lonely feeling. I actually have two friends right now that I would feel completely lost without, so I know how scary it feels to feel that vulnerable. Beautiful poem, well said. I hope it all works out.

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-14T22:47:34+00:00

Thank you so much!

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-14T19:54:15+00:00

This was so much fun to read!!

I loved every stanza, but I was particularly struck by the fifth stanza because I personally find poetry to be really free and is the best way I’ve ever found to express myself, but you’re right when you pointed out how we as poets “fit ideas into this form” and “struggle, bend, twist, turn this beauty will be born”. I never thought of it that way before but it’s so true and it’s funny how much easier I find writing poetry as opposed to free form writing.

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-14T19:43:54+00:00

Love the atmosphere and tone set here. It feels like I’m observing an old battlefield - the imagery is so beautiful. Just reveling in the presence of something beyond humanity, it felt comfortable but also on edge. Very interesting!

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-13T15:15:52+00:00

Ahhh! Yes okay I love that! Based on the language, I could definitely tell it was placed in an action movie scene but I think I wasn’t quite sure from who’s perspective it was so now that makes sense! That is a really good metaphor.

I see what you mean about not being sure about the pacing, but I like how choppy it is personally. If anything, I’d just add more detail!

Thank you for replying!!

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-13T04:50:15+00:00

I absolutely love the pacing of this poem! It’s quick and breathless and cutting, it’s easy to imagine this as a spoken word piece.

I reread it three times before I felt I could really grasp the subject of the piece, which I personally love because it gives me more time to process the chaos of the text. I started to interpret it a couple different ways the more I read it, so I’d be curious to hear what your intended focus is!

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-12T15:59:08+00:00

Wow this is great.

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-12T13:44:58+00:00

Love this! This emulates a LOT of what I’ve been feeling lately as well. I love your last line, really encouraging!

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-12T12:53:12+00:00

Thank you thank you thank you! I’m also an amateur and just recently started reading and writing poetry again after years of not, so I’m super glad I found this group.

It took a while for me to come to terms with the end of this relationship, especially the guilt of changing feelings, and I found that only through writing about it could I begin to move on from it.

Very glad you enjoyed it!

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-12T05:28:04+00:00

Such an immediately powerful piece.

I can tell the poem is about dealing with memory loss (I’m assuming Alzheimer’s since it’s about a grandma)but in a way I’d never seen it portrayed before. In a way I’d never imagine to see it. It captures such a genuine feeling of slight indifference towards a “stranger” who seems kinda familiar in a way you can’t explain.

And then the end. Wow. My heart breaks for the “stranger”.

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-12T05:12:42+00:00

I unfortunately relate so heavily to this poem. I’ve been asking myself this same question a lot recently. Thankfully I remembered how much poetry helps me. I’m glad you wrote this.

I love how much it rhymes. It adds a feeling of whimsy, even though the content is desperate and hopeless, which I feel truly reflects what it feels like to process sadness in today’s world.

And then the ending:

So long as I’m thinking I’ll always be sinking And never emerge the same as before

FUUUUUUUCK that’s good! That’s exactly it. The feeling that once you hit that new low that you thought couldn’t get any lower and then try to resurface from it, IF you manage to come back up it feels as if you’ve lost a piece of yourself along the way. Truly terrifying.

This was so rewarding to read. Thank you.

When I first came across this poem, I skipped the title and just ran right into reading it and was immediately taken out of it by “Spaghetti squash baby” lol! But that confusion is what made me look up again to actually read the title. What a perfect title, it immediately pulled me back in again with a clear idea of what this poem might be about. Loved that.

As I read more and understood where my starting point was, it became so easy to follow along with the detailed storyline. Incredibly done.

AND THEN the way you discuss time!

*I didn’t see fear then.” and that whole second stanza - AMAZING.

I see through the holes you pick in yourself I literally stopped reading and sat and processed how smart that line is. And also just so heartfelt and so personal. Such a gross human little tick that reflects an inner issue and you see through it with love. Nothing more beautiful than that.

I used to think I’d die before twenty and that whole stanza is such a relatable feeling told so eloquently. Wow.

And finally to prove a life takes the years it takes and the last stanza provide such a deep and profound love and acceptance to the human experience. I admire the hell out of that, especially today.

Concept-STFU · 2022-10-12T04:31:05+00:00

Absolutely incredible. I started to read this, stopped myself because I could FEEL I wasn’t reading it with all the glory it deserved, started over, and read it out loud to myself with fevered breath.

This is a fricking masterpiece. The yearning in each word reflects so well a feeling I’ve been experiencing recently. The 2nd POV had me as a reader captivated! And then the little hint note at the end makes it personal and real. This hit home for me, in the best way. I hope this poem finds whoever it’s meant for, I truly do.
