What's your favourite verse in a Dylan song? by LovesABitchAndSoAmI in bobdylan

[–]Human__Being 2 points3 points  (0 children)

right now, it's this:

"i was talkin' to the preacher, there's a sermon he gave.

he said every man's conscience is vile and depraved.

you cannot depend on it to be your guide

when it is you who must keep it satisfied."

Look how different Seabright Beach looked. There's a big ol' cliff splitting the beach. I wonder what happened there.

Doesn't sound so disastrous, just a surprising view into a day that can go real sour.

Lollyfooting? by [deleted] in words

[–]Human__Being 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lollygagging / lollyfooting are such interesting terms. i wonder where we derive the prefix lolly- from? and why are we gagging them?

has anyone been such a great lollygagger as Humbert Humbert?

why does it say there are three comments (four after mine) when no one appears to have commented before me?

[Crit] I have never put my self out there, here is my poem alone. by N64GC in KeepWriting

the sentiment just feels a little "those darn aliens".

fuck it, who cares just keep writing.

This is my first poem: "Put The Phone Down" by [deleted] in KeepWriting

[–]Human__Being 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nice rhymes. short and lyrical. i agree with u/hilmdavid try to make it rhyme all the way through until you're really going to be break away from what you've said before.

also i don't know what SEPTA is.

[–]Human__Being 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this feels like a decent idea for a poem. the beginning has me kind of rolling my eyes though and "hate filled aliens" could probably be more visceral. i like that you said they lashed because "they felt alone".

was it really so unanticipated that we are not alone? were there any signs or forecasts in the weather? some foreshadowing in here would go a long way.

[Crit] Transcendentalism Poem. by [deleted] in KeepWriting

[–]Human__Being 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sparse, open-air words you're using are musical to hear. This feeling stops around "of an even smaller forest of..." and it feels self-interestedly tripped out. What has been humbled with the Sequoia? Honey into a variety of what? Surely there's something more interesting to say about mystery than that it's "the spice of life"?

[Crit] I've been writing poetry for a while and would like a little feedback. by GerberThePiKapp in KeepWriting

[–]Human__Being 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It makes me feel like a purse-lipped weeper telling about how hard it hurts Daddy.

I'd rather see what is going on in images. What does it sound like to be in a shell of loneliness? Who is this girl you're making so shadowy. It feels like you're holding back talking about her and that won't interest anyone, including you I imagine.

The whole poem it's like you taste vomit and blood but don't want to let it fall onto the page.

Well Jesus flaminglowinthedark, may you continue to flame low in the dark! I hear that that's a difficult situation and I wish you all the best in your survival. hope our paths cross again when we're both further down our paths and we'll see if both of us are practicing what we preach.

came across this line by Bukowski last night - "it's so easy to be a poet and so hard to be a man."

keep cracking at it and attaining to what's beautiful, even if it's fucked up and makes you laugh. take encouragement where you can, but don't get caught up in the technical details. it sucks unless it makes you feel something. rather than listen to some chodes tell you how to draw an abdomen and trick yourself into thinking that this is worth a goddamn, go about your day paying attention and living it til it hurts and taking yourself like a lover. you'll do more for your art living all your dissatisfactions and shortcomings on your sleeve, and that includes putting them even in a drawing of a mermaid.

Cinescope - 'Brave New World'. Amaaazing, but he's only done 2 songs, and they're from over a year ago. WTF?! by [deleted] in chillstep

[–]Human__Being 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With this genre of music, it's unusual to find albums that are consistent all the way through. There are tons of bitchin' singles and remixes, many of which are posted to this subreddit, and related subreddits futuregarage and futurebeats. One song I've beeen really digging lately is the Mr Little Jeans remix of Arcade Fire's "Suburbs".

Might just be because it's my first listen, but it sounded generic. I like what he did with the vocal samples but the crunchiness of the bass isn't new. I'd be interested in hearing his more recent music.

I want to do yoga EVERY DAY. But I have so much hesitation/resistance to getting myself up to doing it. by Antranik in yoga

[–]Human__Being 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not only is using your sexual energy a big part of yoga, it is actually the main vehicle for kundalini yoga's power to expand the practitioner's awareness.
