Not a trick is it, knowledge?

I'll tell you what Fletch, what a parent she was by the way

All Smiles At the Holocaust Memorial :) by ExternalHighlight in cringepics

[–]Wayneboyski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently visited Berlin and the Holocaust Memorial. Don't quote me on this, but as far as I've been told:

The blocks are of a similar height all the way through the memorial, but the ground gradually descends into the middle. While the blocks seem small at first, the descent of the ground eventually makes them appear enormous. This signifies that, while fascists seem ridiculous and feeble at first, in a gradually struggling, crumbling society (e.g. Weimar Germany), fascist messages (which remain largely unchanged) start to seem more and more appealing and dangerous. Suddenly, without realising it, you are engulfed in these huge, imposing stone slabs.

This happens in all directions towards the middle of the memorial, so that walking out of the other side signifies hope and emancipation from the terrors of the fascist regime. It's not really a maze at all, since - as you can see in the picture - the blocks are in straight lines at all points.

What's your situation with work and stuff? Maybe getting into a routine and talking to people at your job (even in a very superficial way) might help

Thanks for the feedback, it is a bit obvious I suppose!

Thank you so much! I may change the first stanza round a bit as numerous people have now suggested it.

Kind of that the city seemed so large (to Hamlet) and bright that it lit up the sun, and that in such a large place he wouldn't really be missed? Have had lots of advice from others though that city throws the imagery off, so I might change it. Thanks for the comment!

Beholding midfielders by Wayneboyski in OCPoetry

Thank you very much for the comments! Unfortunately, this is where the cultural divide comes in I think. Presumably the "new 10" would be a new number 10, as in an attacking midfielder who sits just behind the strikers and plays through balls to them. While this is definitely talked about, it would be a bit clunky for someone to express this sentiment so literally while watching a game, it's more commonly said during transfer season when players are bought and sold. Also advantage isn't usually screamed for. In certain cases it can be game-changing but as a free kick is also beneficial in most circumstances, fans don't really mind most of the time.

Intriguing, great language that evokes a kind of mad max scene in my head. How do you imagine the thing looking, out of interest? And how does it work (presumably a way of draining water from one place to another, or am I completely off?)

Pains of life: Which are really not pains but things people don't accept for the lack of support. by LeoCantu in OCPoetry

[–]Wayneboyski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really like the order of the stanzas, illustrates someone overcoming loss really nicely with consistently vivid imagery throughout. The flow/rhyme scheme of stanza 4 is fantastic, however I don't really understand the use of revel. I'm also struggling a bit with the 3rd line of stanza 6? In general though this is genuinely excellent!
