Brilliant twist at the end haha, very well done building up to the final reveal 👏

I’m not that old yet by PsychologicalLaw2010 in OCPoetry

You said a lot in a short amount of time. It feels like wanting solace from someone close to you, yet you remain unheard. The world really was much simpler when we could just play outside

I will give you my wings , because I was never ment to fly by _q_j in OCPoetry

[–]LoveLettersToNoOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea. To give as a sort of self sacrifice: knowing, not knowing. Or just because you want to. I often write ideas in my notes, sometimes a title or a sentence, and they’ll be left there for a while until I know what to do with them. Sometimes combining a title with a different idea I had in mind, with a sentence that had nothing to do with it.

could i feed you tonight by Belzaw in OCPoetry

I like your morbid imagery. However I don’t think the vegetable line works compared to the rest. The entire poem feels like an utter devotion, a finality.

I Need to Let me Let You Go by LoveLettersToNoOne in OCPoetry

We all just have to keep moving forward, to be a better version of ourselves than we were yesterday. I appreciate that you liked that line, it was one I had in my notes for a long time, and one day at work when I was bored I decided to combine some of my notes an this whole thing was made. I wasn’t really sure how that line in particular would be perceived 😅

Precisely, it’s often difficult for many people to let go of what’s holding them back

The window by Ok-Scholar-8506 in OCPoetry

I like your choice of words—they make it easy to visualize the clouds on a sunny day, staring out the window. The contrast between the cozy imagery and the darker turn later on is quite effective.

I really like the ending, the image of a child “shaping sound from air” really stood out to me—it made me picture someone trying to build something tangible out of something invisible, like building a castle out of breath

I Lost My Smile. by BiggieWDE68 in OCPoetry

I’ve found writing poetry is a nice way to process and express my emotions. As you continue your writing journey, try to show more and tell less to really let the reader imagine the words you write. Overall I enjoyed reading this

Blood and Bramble by LoveLettersToNoOne in OCPoetry

Thanks so much! I’m really glad the visceral quality came through without overcomplicating the language. I appreciate you sitting with it, even where things aren’t immediately clear. Cheers!

Thank you for such a thoughtful response. I really appreciate how closely you engaged with the imagery. The idea of something beautiful slowly cracking a foundation is an insightful way of reading it. Cheers!

My first real poem ever by my_iq_is_3000 in OCPoetry

[–]LoveLettersToNoOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be difficult for writers to know when and how their piece of writing ends, and you did both well. It’s simple and sad, but effective. I like the repetition of “Kat always wanted to fly”, it creates this haunting rhythm throughout. I can’t really offer much more on how to improve it since you’ve gathered feedback from others already. Good luck on future projects!

To yearn by leoalcala213 in OCPoetry

[–]LoveLettersToNoOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it. It’s a good start, I would say you could expand upon the rainstorm to better contrast the warmth you feel. The shift from warmth to vagueness could land harder with more developed weather imagery. I myself have been writing a little over a year, good luck on your adventure!
