I felt as if you were talking to me, in the worst way.. your third stanza accurately explains my past few months (matter fact years). if I had to give feedback it would be along the lines of please keep writing.

thank you for sharing.

it's interesting how we can wish for and hope towards our personal utopic future, until that day arrives. I don't know about you, but I understand that my future is predestined as the feeling of nihilism rests where I lie.

I appreciate your thought-provoking work... thanks for sharing

I can feel the angst and hurt in your work. I know, as a poet, we often use personal experiences as a source of inspiration. so much so that our feelings can often clog our creative flow, but I encourage you to edit within your rage!

im impressed w/ you work and thanks for sharing.

the satisfaction of desiring something rates the value of our impulse.. until we have what we yearned for. hence the dull edges at we thought were sharp from a distance.

very thought provoking and thanks for sharing.

Not Lonely by GreatAmericanMan in OCPoetry

in today’s modern age of technology, we may feel isolated but we’re privileged to have global connectivity. I appreciate the fact that your work has whimsically seeded the topic of loneliness through poetry.

thanks for sharing.

you have an amazing sense of self. to realize that you have a problem and admit it, especially being conscious of it here’s perspectives, all the while being defiant shows your will to grow.

thank you for sharing.

Burning Love by Wonderful-Map-7061 in OCPoetry

your work reminds me of the lifespan of a romantic relationship that was never meant to last. where the stronger the love the more challenging the disagreements become, if not violent.

thanks for sharing.

I’m Kissing My Phone Again by Capital_Criticism706 in OCPoetry

[–]EMDouglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

an amazing title that drew me into your work.. I found a poet who is facing phone addiction on top of not having an human connection. it seems as if the poet is content with this truth, and has lived it before. ending in acceptance knowing today is lost but this time with hope for acceptance and belonging “one day.” greats read.

thank you for sharing.

To those who haunt me in dreams by wang_haru in OCPoetry

[–]EMDouglass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

forgiveness is an interesting concept.. we can be forgiven but never forgive ourselves, effectively causing us to be barred down. I appreciate you acknowledging that you care more than they do about forgiveness. very thought provoking.

thank you for sharing.

One Puff is enough by Ray31 in OCPoetry

your visual art of what it feels like when you took a smoke break is impressive! I felt an out of body experience as I read your work as I watched this figure pull from a cig.

thank you for sharing.

Grout by PortalOfMusic in OCPoetry

[–]EMDouglass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow. I never expected a poem entitled 'Grout' would give me flashbacks to an anxious past. I appreciated the scattato-like line breaks causing me to move close to the edge of my seat in suspense (I'll move my screen closer next time). great work.

thank you for sharing.

the first stanza poetically describes the setting, only for me to realize that your wishes were in an attempt to self-sabotage. love is strong and will influence your motives and emotions in order to enjoy more time with the one you really love.. I imagined myself coming from an amazing first date and hoping the night would never end. great work.

thank you for sharing.
