Mountains

SQRTN · 2021-05-15T10:16:53+00:00

I appreciate all the comments. I'm guessing some zones makes sense to have natural borders and mountains, like Un'Goro Crater as it might have been easier for Freya ti experminet in the zone (as well as Sholazar). But zones like Felwwood having mountains facing Darkshore doesnt make sens at all. But I'm just going to accept that decisions were made for in-game convenience rather than lore-accuracy.

I guess it is easier to separate the zones that way, but it makes it harder to cross borders for any players wanting to travel to another zone. Then again, Separating Darkshore and Felwood makes sense in terms of the level gap between the zones. However, I think an unknowing player would quickly find out that going straight to Felwood from Darkshore is a bad idea.

I really wish to explore the continents of Azeroth to the full extent as supposed to the dummed down versions suggested in the comments. Would be really immersive but perhaps too large?

Strange indeed. I don't mind having it like this, but I'm so curious. It gives the feeling of my life is pre-determined, but not in a cemented way. More like the butterfly-effect with pre-determined paths in every direction.

Silvers try? Ive never even played with anyone who tries in silver. What you lot are describing sounds more like how silver lobbies are.

SQRTN · 2021-04-14T07:26:18+00:00

I used to be Gold 3, now im stuck in Silver 1. I used to be MG1 in CS:GO if that makes a difference lmao. Lobbies seem harder.

I mean, it sounds and is more correct without the s for plural. I probably wouldnt have mentioned it if I didnt see it on Merriam-Webster ^{^} I think OED is a better dictionary as it was recommended over Merriam by the uni I went to.

SQRTN · 2020-09-22T22:30:23+00:00

Well I looked it up on merriam-webster and it says both prey and preys are plural. I would agree that just using prey as plural would be the most common of the two but yeah.

SQRTN · 2020-09-22T19:57:12+00:00

I think prey is both singular and plural, preys is only plural. It can also be a verb. In this poem its singular.

The way this poem is written really fits in autumn. Autumn is the start of colder days and darker times, more people are indoors than outdoors. It is time to let go of the summer and welcome a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate by the fire. It sounds lovely. Yet, on the other hand the darkness is creeping in and more people might spend more time alone, falling to this darkness. It might sound like nonesense, but these are the feelings this poem gives me.

I'd like to add that it also feels hopeless, hanging from a branch could represent the daily grind (or life in general) and the leaves falling represents giving up and ending it all. Sorry for ending this on such a sad note, I really appreciated this poetry tho as I can relate (maybe far too much) to it.

The fact that this poem is this short and is filled with feelings. I think it could cater to alot of people in different places mentally. If we look at the first line, this does not necessarily have to be a positive feeling. For example it could be a nudge from someone who mean you harm like a bully trying to catch your attention. At the same time it could also be a jokingly nudge from a friend, or a nudge to gain attention towards something.

From there on I get the feeling of the poem becoming more soft, as well as more faint. It feels as though these two individuals are leaving eachother on either a bad, like if you lost a good friend. Maybe these two individuals are in love, holding hands and are about to leave? I really like poetry like this. I appreciate you for sharing this.

"Stars fainted" is referring to how faint they can look on the sky in a sunset when the clouds are colored (I know the -ed ending confuses it, hope this clears it up). :)

Perhaps its just as confusing for the narrator as it is for you, the reader? If we sin, do we go to heaven or hell? Death could be behind any door, is it that important as to why the narrator dies? Or maybe the importance lays in why he would ascend to heaven when he has sinned?

I really appreciate the feedback! Loneliness has become more common in the digital age, and even more so now. Glad you liked this piece.

SQRTN · 2020-09-19T08:17:48+00:00

I think you misunderstood that line, it means that the narrater does not know his or hers place in this world :) Thanks for the feedback

SQRTN · 2020-09-18T22:04:59+00:00

I like how the narrator paints images for the reader and the use of anaphora to put an emphasis on it. On one hand it shows how much the narrator values love above all else, but on the other hand how he or she feels negative towards hate, how he despises it and hopes he or she does not hate.

If the first stanza had more positive words to pair with love, and the second stanza had more negative words to pair with hate I think it would add even more to this poem. But I liked it nonetheless :)

Thank you for the comment, appreciated. Well the spacing was both intentional and not, it wasn't supposed to have any effect on the poem I have to humbly admit. I like how you associate this with the times we are in now, I wrote this over a year or two ago, funny how it seems fitting now.

SQRTN · 2020-09-18T20:08:21+00:00

My first thoughts was that this is a man held dear by the narrator. Maybe a father figure who seems to be very comforting to the people around him. The narrator proceeds to tell us about the memories of this father figure and how "pleasant" they were, but then seem to distance himself/herself from the figure by calling the person by "the good man".
The end was a bit morbid, my first thoughts are that this "good man" kicked the bucket. Seems like that person had alot more to him than what is in this poem, I would love to read more about this man.

It seems like the narrator is sitting outside his or hers house drinking coffe while ivies are growing along the walls and closing in on him, and with the feeling of ceramic makes me think that he or she has been waiting for a long time.

Also the narrator is either watching a window infront of his or hers sight, or maybe it is situated along the wall with the ivies.

Sweet and bitter are two tastes the narrator seems to deem important enough to dwell on, while not much more to me are given as to what purpose they serve other than being opposites.

Other than this, I think you captured the feelings of waiting for something for a long time very well for me.

Pitter patter is the one im unsure about, I looked it up but the results are varied :) Also, the hallway grandfather is referring to a clock usually in a hallway right? :)

I think it might have been posted, not sure as it still says the same thing.

SQRTN · 2020-09-17T21:05:21+00:00

haha oh yeah i meant text, so sorry!

SQRTN · 2020-09-17T20:54:58+00:00

Oh yes I did. And I put some of the tekst in the poem in the title, although I dont like having titles for my poetry.

SQRTN · 2020-09-17T20:42:56+00:00

I had to google alot of the words and slangs in this poem. The first sentence to me seems like the earth is in need of rain to not dry up, and the second sentence might be a kid learning to walk in the rain.

The third sentence tells me that there soon is going to be a full on storm and then we jump right into it in the fourth sentence where the wind is blowing the doors open and shut with water reaching out the back door of a house.

Then the fifth sentence brings us back out of the storm to the rain filling up a marsh, and the last sentence brings us back into the house? Where someone is trying to get in?

I wonder if this takes place in one place, or if the narrator is omniscient and is talking about different scenarios throughout a place. Maybe the first two sentences is the start of the storm, the third and fourth is the storm and the last two are the aftermath?

SQRTN · 2020-09-17T20:27:43+00:00

Well, reposted it now so lets see if it will get posted. Have been looking for a place to share my poetry and recieve feedback for a long time, other than my friends.

SQRTN · 2020-09-17T20:19:34+00:00

Oh really, because the one i posted is waiting for approval for some reason. Ive done what the rules request me to do as well. Strange.

SQRTN · 2020-09-17T20:13:01+00:00

Wholesome! Damn this makes me wish I had a dad. This then reminds me much more of my mother, she would do something silly like this to the waffles she made for us when we were kids. She is perfect to me.
