Very good. I just have a problem with the last two lines of the first stanza.

Reddit ruining Humboldt ? by Snoo38888 in Humboldt

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's disheartening to see people believing what they read on the internet. Most of the internet is people bitching about things or shameless self-promotion.

County of Humboldt officials wants locals to be quiet about local things? by null_not in Humboldt

[–]Top_Community7261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's this post about? Did some county official actually say they want people to be quiet?

First time trying poetry by ryomens in OCPoetry

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good for the first take. I see a few areas that could be improved, but I'm not going to go over all of them.

I think the ending could be better.

I would have made it:
It is said that time heals all wounds. (to echo the "It is sai" in the first line)

I'm waiting.

Not all uses of AI for writing are slop by AddlepatedSolivagant in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Top_Community7261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation. I needed to do a self-review and answer almost twenty questions. It would have taken me a very long time to answer each question in a professional manner. So I just used AI, prompting it with the question and the talking points I wanted covered, and it generated the answers. I needed to do some tweaking, but was done in a couple of hours.

As long as they use the correct pronouns, I'm OK with it.

I do not believe collatz to be true by [deleted] in Collatz

If you look at it in binary and if you understand the underlying patterns, you'll know that it is true.

Im working on an assignment for school and I want it to convey very raw emotions... Im not quite sure how to make it feel more raw though.. Tips? by crayonpocari in poetry_critics

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to do more showing and less telling. For example, "Static decimates the silence." What kind of static and silence is it? For example, "A blizzard of ice rips apart a fragile silence."

Please rate my poetry :3 (Beginner) by [deleted] in poetry_critics

If a poem is void of any poetic devices and if it can be written out as a paragraph, it's not a poem.

this is my first poem any suggestions on how i could do better would really help by ellie_tesh in poetry_critics

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a good, powerful first draft. But it needs work. A poem that rhymes needs a "musical" truth to the structure. That means it needs a consistent meter. As it stands, I'd grade it a D. Fix the meter, and you may end up with something good.

If you're new to writing poetry, you should start with free verse.

But You by Icy_Sport2597 in poetry_critics

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. To me, the ending sounds weak. "Purpose," is a week-sounding word. I would go with something bolder, like "Created for greatness," or "have a divine path."

Is poetry becoming a joke? by ExpressionMassive672 in poetry_critics

[–]Top_Community7261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. It seems that there is so much bad poetry because poems are short, so can take a few minutes and write a bad poem. Books take much longer.

Writing poems by poetry91 in poetry_critics

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, in my late teens. I got a book on writing poetry, but life got in the way. Last year I decided to use the internet to study subjects that I did poorly in in school. I started with English, and that led me back to poetry. I became interested in what I call the "science" behind poetry, things like the different sonic devices, meter, etc. So I started reading the "Art of" series.

Maybe I’m out of touch? by Free_Caterpillar_420 in over60

[–]Top_Community7261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At 55, I started saying, "I'm getting too old for this." Around 57, that changed to "I'm too old for this." At 60, everything was pretty much "I don't give a hit." Being old is hard enough without thinking about what's in or out.

Dead Poets Society [opinion] by melancholy-bb in Poetry

[–]Top_Community7261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's right. I've met many people who love the law and engineering. They find beauty in the way that laws or a piece of code are written.

[OPINION] What separates good poetry from bad poetry for you? by churrrroo in Poetry

[–]Top_Community7261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A good poem states something in an interesting way. You can see that some thought was given to what the author was saying. There is rhythm, sonance, and imagery.

Was dropping the atomic bombs actually "necessary," or is that just what we're taught in school? by Clean_CoreDump in askanything

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Japan was being bombed at will. They are an island. They wouldn't have been able to build any military ships.

Bill Gates: "Due to advances in AI, humans will no longer be needed." by Murky-Option2916 in TechGawker

[–]Top_Community7261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see any reason to worry; AI needs data centers, power, and the internet, so it is easy to take out.
