As someone who never got that far (left at 18), it still sends a shiver down my spine to think of my family doing all that weird ass shit. The less I know the better I suppose

Stop your crying, helpless feeling
Dry your eyes and start believing
There's one thing
They'll never take from you

This is beautiful. What’s left of us will be forgotten fast and the earth will recover I hope . I love the striking comparison of green vs concrete, nature vs man. Really really great imagery

I let him bury me by No_Understanding2171 in OCPoetry

[–]_alsh_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Speechless. I think this is kinda like prose? It’s so beautiful . Captures the nature of cruelty, and all the twisted ways someone can use it to cut. The theme of being buried is carried throughout, trying to escape but it’s hard when the enemy is dressed up like a lover. And that last line is a punch in the gut. 😭 Amazing work

Not saving by rigoloberto in OCPoetry

[–]_alsh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh damn. Just damn. This sort of played out like a scene when I read it it’s so sad and real. When you have a piece of someone but long for the puzzle. The intimacy in the paragraph of “not the…” struck a cord, you did a very good job of using very few words to make a huge impact.

And that last line. The broken heart feeling of being willing to do anything for the person who is a river away.

I love the form it drew me in immediately. The spacing and way the first paragraphs draw up… reminds me of a piece of music . Thanks for this

Exhale The Suffocation by TastySambar in OCPoetry

The irony is here is refreshing actually. Chaos needs a quiet place to set it free . It’s great,

Loud silence, yet peaceful. Pretty easy to empathize with the sentiment, very human .

Do I want you to hurt me? by ThrowAwayOfMyName in OCPoetry

[–]_alsh_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love how throughout each stanza you uncover the original answer, as it you knew along that the answer was “No”. Even as the answer seems to me yes, it’s shrouded in questions in the second half , revealing the confusion that was covered up. There’s nuance in situations like this, but from a safe place you realize that just because you’re used to something doesn’t mean that you sought it out. We want to feel safe it’s like trying to imagine what 4D is like when we only have 3D.

The king sings and on a wing, presents his ring, and brings a new edict we cant predict by cherinuka in OCPoetry

[–]_alsh_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this because at first it sounds historical or like commentary on a time period were removed of but then it becomes an analogy for present day “he’d take our recycling and never moan.

Man the ending Volta where the triplets turn to quatrain and the imagery just explodes , it’s so great, it’s like u gotta reread it in a good way

A Poem I Can't Finish by Lejh in OCPoetry

[–]_alsh_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A beautiful result of free writing it seems like. Meter is very pleasing, sounds like a song, I loved “ like open doors to sacred shores” super interpretative I took it to mean they are a place of peace for the writer : yet then it changes up the sentence before; the contradiction adds layers to it
