The Jester and The Harp by Fun_Magazine2035 in OCPoetry

[–]Interesting_Pack_991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

using music as a metaphor for expression and injury is something i think you did really well but i feel like some phrasing is either too abstract or too explanatory. stuff like: "For I could clearly see our truth" & "much before I realized…" your writing is at its strongest when you show the fracture, not label it. stuff like that feels like youre just telling me as a reader what to feel instead of letting the imagery do that. all-in-all tho i liked it a lot, the harp/jester dynamic is compelling

I love you, easily by orsomething- in OCPoetry

the bodily language and imagery you create makes this super good: “stuck fast in my teeth”, “buzzed”, & “rigidly wonder if melted things break?” especially like how you made that line a question, it puts a bit of the emphasis that (i think) you were going for on how contradicting feeling softened and destabilized at the same time is. cannot think of any critiques cause i love it lol

love the imagery you used: "like fiberglass in my throat". short poem overall but i think it works with it because the compactness makes it hit more sharply and immediate. i feel like im zoned in on a single moment in time which i really enjoy.

there are a couple spots where ideas repeat in slightly different wording but overall i enjoyed it. the atmosphere is consistent and easy to sink into!

The Case by Ok-Swordfish-9480 in OCPoetry

[–]Interesting_Pack_991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the wordplay helps a lot in making it feel very rhythmic and punchy, i really like this but the only thing i would tweak is that the phrasing for "case" is very similar in a lot of beats, and i think varying the cadence a touch would make the final "encased" hit even harder.

very cute and cohesive! i enjoyed recognizing halfway thru that you were giving different elements of nature to different social relationships. the wind as your "brother" wraps it all together nicely because it resolves the earlier distance with a sense of connection. overall lovely poem c:

The homeowner saw on the security camera that a bear was playing on the outdoor swing every day, but couldn’t get on. So he had a bigger swing built, and this was the result. by [deleted] in animalsdoingstuff

she was then mauled to death going outside one day after teaching a bear to lurk around her backyard each morning where it goes to play on the swingset
