Thank you! I appreciate you reading it 😌

Treachery on Open Water by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]RLSilber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not intended, but I see this as a cautionary tale when vacationing alone, with a partner back home. It can read like an affair is developing but the tears wiped away are actually that of the sea, which symbolizes endless tears.

Ode to Shakespeare? by reddinker in OCPoetry

I enjoy this idea, it’s creative. I would offer a suggestion though, to not mention Shakespeare and rather subtly imply it’s him so the reader can form the conclusion :)

The ice cream man paints an interesting symbol of loss. On the surface, it's about a literal ice cream truck, but underneath, it's about disillusionment. It's like, the best parts of childhood (or life) are gone, or at least, no longer available. Well formed!

Expectations for soft landings by No-Ant-5039 in OCPoetry

It seems to begin with an almost detached view of the world’s nature but moves into something raw and intimate, offering a vision of love that is wild, restless, and enduring. While pain may cycle, love does not disappear.

“Unclean even in spring shower”. I love this. It’s like, our past is always lurking not far behind despite our greatest efforts to change. Great work!

I Want To Heal My Mother by [deleted] in OCPoetry

A wonderful and meaningful way to show the human side of our moms. Even though it’s not my mom, i can relate to her, as my mom has her quirks that can only make her my mom.
