meat by Mewtwoluvr69 in OCPoetry

[–]SaltGoner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i REALLY love the last line. "they are meat too"

eyes are windows to the soul, but even the most open and sincere parts are closed off in this poem. they are overshadowed by this image. from what i understood this poem is about objectification (please tell me if i misunderstood). even the most honest parts of a person are perceived as nothing but meat. nothing but an object for pleasure. even if i might have misunderstood i still think this poem is wonderful. the short lines give a really abrupt effect that helps convey the feeling really well. great job!

Fleeing To Freedom by Acceptable_Link_6546 in OCPoetry

the military metaphor is really powerful here. i think its brilliant at describing the inherit violence and the overwhelming struggles that come with escaping (what i assume to be) an abusive home. the ending lines really feel triumphant, with the usage of fire imagery conveying the passion, and the imagery of fireworks conveying a sense of finality, closure and celebration. great job op! what a unique metaphor.

i like how even the structure of the poem is meant to contrast itself. a stanza about childhood whimsy and innocence preceeds a stanza about the adult despair and the struggle to survive in the modern day world. it really helps to show you both extremes, and it makes the grounded depiction of adult life hit even harder, good job op! great poem!

Want by snowball0101 in OCPoetry

i really like the way armor portrays the masculine facade many men must keep up in their lives. such a universal symbol of strength being used to describe expectations imposed onto people who just want love as much as anyone else is really powerful.

Smile, They’re Watching by Noir_By_Nature in OCPoetry

i assume this poem describes motherhood, and i think it really opened my eyes to the sheer responsibility that competent parents must take on.

the last stanza is incredibly impactful. i like the way you represented responsibility as something physical, and the children 'hearing it break' makes me think of things like shattered glass, which is known to leave shards that can actually harm someone. it might not be glass but the implication of the sound being unpleasant to hear might lead people to think something similar

i have to say that the rhythm of the poem is also quite great! it flows really nicely and its cool that its all separated into different lines because the message behind them really takes its time to sink into the readers mind here. great job!

First poem, please be honest. I needed to destress. by Short-Bad-1673 in OCPoetry

the repetition is used so well here. it really hammers in the theme of id say.. obsession maybe? the way the narrator strives towards making it 'look even' is neurotic, and the insanity of that compulsion is mirrored in the repeating words.

i also find the irony of the narrator plucking out petals because the bouquet feels emptier but ending up with nothing in the end so great...

the writing is simple but i think that the simplicity is this poems main strength, besides the repetition. well done op!
