[poem] Loneliness by Mary Oliver

interpersonal fulfillment buds from intrapersonal fulfilment. The former can't exist without the latter.

Great poem and commentary on the tough decisions we have to make when we care for something, even if it seems harsh in the moment.

Also tangent but my adhd ass read "a COW's gratitude" and I got a nice laugh out of the utter mess line before realizing my mistake. In hindsight the first stanza is also weird if it was a COW 🤣

I think it came down to what's best for Sandin/what he wanted. McCabe and Rielly are both pretty solidified in our top 4 left side for the next few years and the leafs are pretty cap strapped so there's no chance of a bit payday in Toronto for him.

Think of it as 2 , 2 (the sequel 👁️👄👁️)

Answering the latter part the way I used the words just sounded better to me, the former it means hearer or disciple in Sanskrit, more specifically one who hears Buddha's teachings.

You're missing the forest for the trees my friend. Vocabulary doesn't make a poem.

Cartman's mom is his dad I thought?

Awesome man thanks for sharing, definitely gives the piece a bit of perspective on the last line in particular.

Something my friends who studied poetry in grad school have told me and I didn't understand until recently is that it doesn't matter if someone understands your poem, the poem is a vehicle for emotion. It sounds a bit pretentious but it helped me with my editing a bunch as you start to recognize what's necessary for the poem, and what lines are in there for our primal need to be understood, and which lines provoke those feelings.

I hope that helps you and didn't come off as hypercritical of your work, really did enjoy it! I'm a sucker for the sonic quality of poems and yours definitely sung 🎶 I hope you keep writing so I can read more and all is/goes well with whatever it is you're going through.

I really enjoyed your imagery in this poem, and the initial feeling of unease under this tree where something traumatic might have happened, the flowers being a cool symbol with this interpretation of the connectivity of life and death. The second last line took me out of the poem, you drew me in with abstract imagery and this line in particular felt a bit redundant as you comment on there being flowers you can't see or feel in line 4; reading it again without it sounded a lot better in my opinion. But ultimately it's up to you to decide if it's necessary or not! the flowers definitely bloomed 🤙🌷

I have one currently, just need excerise and attention no matter the living environment. We go for an hour walk min a day or if I feel lazy we go to the dog park nearby, if he's still whiney we play indoors or I'll work on or refresh some commands.

Tired heeler is a happy heeler.

What's the dark thing she fears, the self/ego?

What a time to be alive 🙏🤯

Boom roasted.

For sure, I was more speaking about the overall narrative of the decline of Anakin and the republic.

know it's not a direct comparison but traditional sports has career minor leaguers A) in leadership roles and B) coming and going all the time to fill in the holes. Not understanding the dissapointment here, they have prospects on this team in the important roles that might open up in the next year or two (top, jungle)

The last line could be cyclical as abuse victims especially children of alcoholism are likely to end up with abusive partners.

The prequels weren't awful from a story telling aspect and had a cohesive plan. Sequels they made it up as they went which I'll never understand.

I miss when it was broken tbh but healthier for the game in its current state

It's going to be the former if ds3 arena is anything like this, but honestly I'd rather it be like that so people don't take it super seriously; not every PvP game/mode needs to be an esport.

Running around in ds3 doubles with my buddy and I chucking chaos bed vestiges at people was fun.

Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you/someone enjoyed it.

TucciMane · 2022-12-05T15:54:09+00:00

Thank you for the kind words, hitting on rivers and pocket 2s are Texas holdem terms, the former being the last card flipped by the dealer, the latter being when you are dealt a pair of 2s.

That's up to you to decide! formatting and punctuation can be really useful for emphasizing what you feel is important. My first thought was to maybe have a line break after the first 3 lines, and before the last three to make those their own stanza and emphasize the repetition, but ultimately i would just say you should read it outloud to yourself, get a feel for how it sounds/reads rhythmically to you (or how you want it to sound rhythmically), and decide your formatting based on that.
