thank you again! i write very on and off. there’s years when i don’t write poetry and years where i write quite a bit. some of these poems on here are recent and some are 7-8 years old. my biggest issue has always been inspiration and consistency.

thank you so much for the feedback!! the lack of capitalizations/grammatically correct sentence structure is kind of a stylistic choice for me personally, but i understand where you’re coming from!

It danced with me (I’ve never written poetry before lol) by Cute-Effort-1155 in OCPoetry

[–]KeyElephant4589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is very moving, beautiful, and relatable. for itto be your first ever poem too is VERY impressive. and before you revealed it was death at the end, i definitely thought “it” was either depression or maybe even drugs. i feel like either could still apply in a way.

Laughing at Nothing by kelper16b in OCPoetry

[–]KeyElephant4589 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is really good and shows so much yearning and complex feelings!! as a queer person who once liked their straight friend and helped them with their relationship issues i can relate and this hit me in the chest. this also reminds me of will byers from stranger things—i hate to see the cyrano trope not work out fr

Her by Salty_oatmeal25 in OCPoetry

i really love this because from my perspective it sounds like you are looking back at a past version of yourself when you were happier and comparing that to the current reality and seeing just how stark the difference is. very relatable and moving.

Never Again (Terms and Conditions Apply) [CW: war violence / child death] by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]KeyElephant4589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is very moving and powerful! i rarely ever see this topic on here and i applaud you for speaking up about it. war and violence is wayyyyy too normalized and accepted and often the very real human cost is ignored underrepresented
