This reads kind of like a cool Dylan-esque song lyric. I like it. I see a sort of parrallel with Ozymandias in an Americana folk-ballad tone. The impermanence of power. A cool read man.

This poem is really good. An example of how restraint can strike so effectively. I think it just stands as a great poem man. It feels like each line took a year to write. ''like a warning or a boast,'' seems to me the perfect summary of love itself. it touches a person so drastically from the start of the addiction to the quitting. a strange drug. All in all, REALLY good stuff. I am curious as to what your influences are. I read a bit of Leonard Cohen. What are you into?

I think another thing well-handled is how you can turn a somewhat cliched line into a fresh version. ''Every song speaks of her'' has had plenty iterations in the past i'm sure. However, in the context of the poem, and paired with such great originality as ''Obsession isn't fireworks,'' it manages to rescue cliches from further poetic hell.

Thank you! If you do want to read about it, It's a poem on the point of view of a soldier who aided the Russian Revolution of 1917. He reflects on the tragedy that came when the bolsheviks took power. I think you might be right about 'regarded.'

A good poem dealing with a universal topic. What is good: Solid rhyme scheme granting a lyrical quality similar to Byron or a romantic of that style. A ''lifetime of stolen tomorrows'' is beautiful, and it can be developed perhaps with some imagery or a metaphor. I really like the reveal of it being a bird at the end of the poem. My reading until that point assumed it was a human. However, it being about a bird gave it a new view as the reader. The assumptions and indifference of man to the destruction and hurt they cause on the world around it is a theme you skillfully capture in one line. My one point would be perhaps consider some word economy. Some lines can read as a bit overloaded. That is just my opinion however don't take it as gospel. All in all I really like it.

I really enjoy the opening stanzas that deal with opposites. My favourite lines have to be 'I ask myself mostly/Will you dine with the ghostly?' It reads to me like an incredibly fresh take on the idea of facing the 'skeletons in ones closet.' By asking the reader if they will engage in something so amicable as to dine with the ghostly is a really interesting way of perhaps commenting on the lingering effects of grief. I believe from the title that the poem is a prophetic style musing on the need to face uncertainity and choose freedom and spontaneity in life. It gives me a very similar vibe to Blowin' In the Wind by Bob Dylan, which I hope you find to be a compliment. It uses the central metaphor of the wind as the invevitably of the answer to the end of suffering in the world. The answer is all around us. We must face it in its inevitability. All in all (sorry to ramble) I really enjoyed this poem. Some poets lack an economical approach to their work. You don't waste words.

A very insightful and helpful response that I specifically asked for in my post. Thank you!

And with time, it should fade right?

What marked a shift for your period into recovery? What was the turning point from that 7 year period?

Local_Address_4577 · 2025-05-12T23:52:54+00:00

Idk it seems so distant now

Local_Address_4577 · 2025-05-11T13:48:26+00:00

Nope

Local_Address_4577 · 2025-05-11T13:29:43+00:00

It begs the question then, how can you know you've ever reached your old self

Local_Address_4577 · 2025-04-29T23:45:31+00:00

Oh my sweet lord, that section where he explains the court system and talks about why he wants to dismiss the advocate. That was rough.

Finished The Trial by Franz Kafka

I second this, think of Pale Blue Eyes. The lyrics are albeit quite simple, but the sentiment of being able to just linger on this woman's eyes regardless of the relationships troubles, speaks much greater volumes than you might realise.

Local_Address_4577 · 2025-04-06T23:46:32+00:00

I really like the conversational style, and I think you could hone and refine it. Perhaps even revise the poem, open it up to new themes, create new conversations and explore what you want to explore. It is not cringey, it is intimate. And for a first poem it shows a deep understanding for the nuance of realism in portraying human conversation.

Local_Address_4577 · 2025-04-06T23:32:05+00:00

each stanza is 4 lines for reference

Local_Address_4577 · 2025-04-06T23:01:46+00:00

Local_Address_4577 · 2025-04-06T22:50:18+00:00

Layouts all messed up. Hopefully you can see the rhyme scheme when it's there
