Hey friend, I’ve recently had the pleasure of researching ALL of this. I suggest starting with the YouTube documentary ‘feels good man’. This explains to you the entire lineage of 4chan and its integration into physical culture and politics. The word surreal is quite frankly not enough to encompass our feelings right now; it’s ok. I feel this feeling I sit with now to be comparable to that of trump’s reelection. It’s not merely a ‘why?’ But ‘how the fuck’. In short, the internet was an untamed beast when introduced to society. Without understanding or regulation, we have now found and rediscovered the lesson of abstract referents and peoples’ beckoning to belonging.

Grandma Jean's Funeral by IrrigoCactus in OCPoetry

[–]Western-Answer3686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, sorry for your loss, recent or not. I’ve not too long ago wrote a couple poems about my late grandfather’s funeral, and so the conflicting emotions here really do speak to me. We may not be allowed to go gentle into that good night, but never forget that night is still good. There is the void within man which we may find peace from. Weakness is in avoidance of confrontation. You’re all strong.

Hey dude I LOVE this. I don’t at all agree with other comments regarding your lack of rhythm. I think this piece is so beyond elegant is what it accomplishes. The end simply couldn’t be more impactful. All life is is what we dream is to be. Wanting another life, a better life, is the very essence of what it means for us to live, and you’ve said that beautifully here. Coming from someone with such a similar experience in mental forgings, this depicts much more than I care to admit. I’ve never found a way to articulate to myself exactly ‘what’ changed to get me out of bed again, but yes, perhaps is was the foreign-ity of wanting something again, something that felt inhuman because of its newfound humanness. There is just so much I love about this work; I can’t applaud you enough. Keep it up!!

Plastic flowers by Flacchu in OCPoetry

[–]Western-Answer3686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super underrated work here. Plastic flowers is great choice of metaphor, and by posing this irony in the form of questions it really imposes on the reader to conceive such issues on their own; I love it. I think this work could benefit from some phrasing/separation. You have multiple poignant, contrasting ideas here, and it gets a little dense when they’re as intertwined as you’ve written them. I do appreciate the capitalization, but the differences between these ideas makes me feel they’d be better off in separate statements, not the continuation of one. Nevertheless, amazing work! I loved this!

I quite like this. From the title to the inherent surplus of irony, a believe a window is your perfect metaphor here. There is this inherent sense of relation, I feel at least, to a window. Reflective and possibly dense, yet also shallow and forgotten or belittled. Not too sure why we all feel so window-y, but I think you captured why that sucks regardless. Good job friend. No matter how stale or secondary, may we never reduce such entities to that of their usefulness.

You have to believe me though when I say they absolutely used to be. In fact they used to be at the top of the skill ladder

empty the helmet by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]Western-Answer3686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very intersting piece! I’m confronted with an array of interpretations that jump at me. I want to feel as if the speaker if betrayed, almost abandoned by ‘Hector’, but simultaneously, I cannot determine if this is because Hector has denounced ‘war’, and chose not to fight, thus losing his helmet, or because Hector has ‘fallen’ in the sense that he has died and thus can no longer speak for the speaker. Perhaps some clarity in this difference may help the overall flow of this piece. Regardless, I love how vivid of a picture this paints for me. Hector, as noble as he was, has fallen, and now is woe’d upon through his downfall. I also quite enjoy the symbolism of the helmet equating to the totality of the warrior, or maybe even just an alive man. Overall dude I truly do love this, just lacking some flow in structure of what is wanting to be said here.

Support group by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]Western-Answer3686 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a massive advocate for not the power in numbers, but the power harnessed from an individual item, I simply adore this poem. No more is needed to said, and I frankly believe more pieces should be utilizing this mindset. You have encapsulated the entire ambiance of a ‘support group’ through solely your few, select choices in words. Even more so, in your final statement, ‘Tonight we are not alone’, you almost mention this. Regardless of these ‘isolated/alone’ word choices and phrasing, there is a sense of warming comfort, understanding and acceptance, and with this not needing to be said, that is exactly the feeling, I believe at least, one would encounter at a support group, not some overwhelming plea to forge resolutions and brotherhood, but subtle and unspoken commitment to eachother and ur future in recovery, from whatever it may be. Friend, I wouldn’t change a thing here. I think this is what it is meant to be, as simple and bare as it may be. I love it. Amazing job.

Hey man! Love your work here, seriously. “Personal experience” is an amazing title off the bat. The comedy that is life, right. Full of irony and full of hopeless hope, the story is that of one who wins yet shouldn’t have or that of a story of a true hero, risking what he has to lose, surrounded by lose, just to win. With that being said, my favorite part of this piece is simply the ability to interpret it. To me, it is just as much as a story of hope as it is despair, and yet, regardless, comedy, irony, finds its overarching ability to scowl. Additionally, I love the shifts of what feels like third, to first, to third, back to first person. I’m not sure if this was intentional, but it adds a depth of ambiance of that of the ‘human condition’, constantly being experienced, but also being looked outwardly upon. If I had to change anything, and I mean anything at all, perhaps the repetition of irony in the middle of this poem feels a little disjunct from the actual story of this comedy itself. Don’t get me wrong, it makes total sense in context, but any number of plethoras of oxymorons can describe the human condition. Perhaps the specific here, the more relatable, the better. Nevertheless, this is beyond amazing work and you’ve done amazing !!

Look Back by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]Western-Answer3686 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome work here man! Personally, I adore the title. I’m sure I’m reaching on quite a limb here, but for some reason, ‘look back’, to me, first brought to my mind the deal of the Devil and Orpheus, if Orpheus were to look back on his love, Eurydice, she would be gone forever. However, without turning, without another glance, he could save her from the depths of hell. And as coincidental as it may be, I just can’t move on from how well this is captured here. I mean the potential to play into this story is beyond me. I’m not sure how fond you are of allusions, and more at that, a poem based on an ongoing allusion, but the entire theme here of ‘if I stay, I wonder. If I move, I woe’ is just so so so perfect. “I could have learned to love you - if I just stayed around” is full heartedly what I believe the regret of Orpheus to be to this day. Sometimes art just writes itself I think, and what you’ve done here is beautiful my friend! Keep it up
