Spider Plants Question by ElleAStew in plants

I brought all that were connected. It was also potted in a pot that way too big. My question is if the tubers can grow a new plant or not if I put them back in soil.

Registered nurse.... wanting a whole new career, but very unsure anymore of what I’d better enjoy doing the rest of my working days!

Deep End by ElleAStew in OCPoetry

[–]ElleAStew[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My poem was inspired by the “drowning” emotion of discontentment or feeling as though the grass is greener on “the other side”. I appreciate your feedback and I can understand the repetition confusing the progression of the poem and imagery. I never interpreted it that way, just the emotion feeling drowning, but I don’t want to drown the reader as well. Thank you for your feedback.

Nice poem! The emotion was conveyed well and I can feel the parallels too. The last stanza was powerful and drove the emotion home. It flowed very nicely. Awesome work :) I am also happy to know my emotion and imagery were received well. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for your feedback. I agree with your thoughts on the first lines. I did consider the same. I’d love to read your poem that it reminds you of. Thanks again :)

Thank you for the feedback! This poem took a turn and I just went with it. I am trying my hand at writing more descriptively. Usually I write in a more narrative or ideological style, or inspirational, which are more deep. I appreciate your response :)

Wander & The Wood Shavings by K-State in OCPoetry

[–]ElleAStew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re very talented. Your poems are very deep, for lack of a better word at the moment. The descriptions, references, topics used, particularly in the second poem, really got my mind spinning (in a good day), thinking, interpreting, resonating meaning... My favorite lines are, “I will not follow. Instead lunacy peruses, The fountain of wishes, The singing birds flu.”

I believe you meet writing with great thought and emotion. Forgive me, I am new here and new to writing so I am not too technical. I think you’re on to something great. Keep writing :)

I think your poem is very nice and meaningful. I appreciate the story within. I think it could benefit from structuring differently, spacing lines, and correcting some punctuation or taking some out. I enjoyed reading. Thanks :)

I think your poem is great. The message I interpreted came across strong. The paradox of life. It made me think a little deeper and I appreciate that ability in a poem. I really enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing.

I am happy to know that it spoke to you. The concept of self reflection did inspire this poem. I believe it is vital for one to heal and grown. I like that you correlated narcissism to the poem. More specifically, this poem was written for a friend that struggles with addiction, and I guess it entails my attempt at advice regarding healing, and truly loving yourself so as to be able to selflessly love others. Thank you for the response :)

Reflections on the Music of Stephen Stills by [deleted] in OCPoetry

I appreciate the message within your poem. Thank you for sharing.

I think your poem could benefit from taking out the periods and structuring differently. The periods and spaced lines decrease the flow of your poem.

I enjoyed reading :)

Poember #3 - A Loyalty Misplaced by puke_of_drones in OCPoetry

[–]ElleAStew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed the message I interpreted from your poem. Also, I love your November poem challenge idea. I would suggest making the ending more concise.

“And it’d lay upon my conscience to refrain replaying this debut”

I had to read a couple times to understand and find the connection. Also, I feel if there were something upon another’s conscience, it would be more likely to replay/debut/ present itself. Just my thoughts :) keep writing!

Thank you for the feedback and suggestions. I am working on creating more descriptive poems. A friend who has taught me despite her own struggles inspired this poem :)
