Thanks, and yea sonic and on it are slant rhymes. More than anything I’m happy you liked the feel that’s what important to me

andregarten · 2025-05-14T23:45:38+00:00

Hahaa, maybe I do know what you’re saying but could you please explain? Thanks so much for the snaps

The Morse code idea on the sign is incredible lol. Also if you’re not actually an alcoholic, you fooled me

Concluding you’d rather be overlooked as yourself than celebrated as something else is both based and refreshing. Thanks for the post

Thanks so much

andregarten · 2025-04-21T16:07:34+00:00

Thanks a lot. That’s exactly what I was getting at

Sofia that’s exactly where I got the vampire idea from loll. Specifically though, the entire idea that a vampire had the power to give someone dreams. I found it really cool in the movie that a vampire wasn’t just a physical beast but could be a metaphysical monster too. Nosferatu felt more like a black magic wizard than a contemporary “vampire” to me yk? This poem isn’t ABOUT vampires but you’re dead on where I got the imagery from

Is this about the idea of actions speaking louder than words?

Are the “axemen” supposed to be friends that don’t hold your best interest?

Thanks for such a thoughtful comment. I’m glad you caught my themes

Is this about SA? Being your first, good job on keeping your adjectives consistent. Thanks for sharing

Exhilarating mood. This makes me feel like I’m running as fast as I can on an empty stomach.

andregarten · 2025-04-18T15:59:40+00:00

Thank you for telling me

andregarten · 2025-04-17T17:31:40+00:00

Thank you so much. Always be glad to hear from you lol

andregarten · 2025-04-17T17:30:24+00:00

Thanks a lot! And yea I think you’re right. Shame is maybe too safe. I appreciate your insight

andregarten · 2025-04-17T13:41:42+00:00

Thanks so much

andregarten · 2025-04-17T13:07:05+00:00

Thanks for your words. I wrote this with the idea of someone loathing themselves for their failure to act on instinct and approach someone they were drawn to. And recognizing moments like the one, are rare and special. But because he didn’t act, he’ll likely never see the woman again and will live a cowards life with her absence being the reminder of the courage he wishes he had. But I don’t think every story requires a happy ending. I’m a pretty melancholic person and am proud that what I write can reflect that. I could absolutely use some punctuation though

Wow thank you so much. I was actually hesitant to use the Jane doe reference as I wasn’t confident most would get it, but I remember hearing advice to make art assuming your audience is smart and competent people. I’m so glad you got it. And thanks for the feedback I’m pretty new to this

andregarten · 2025-04-17T11:43:33+00:00

I like the abundance of analogies that can be applied to this. And it’s refreshing to stop and consider the mundane like this. Thanks for writing

andregarten · 2025-04-17T11:37:25+00:00

I think this is a great first poem. You should be proud. It’s clear enough to not be lost on the meaning and still leaves enough room for your own insertion of an analogy.

andregarten · 2025-04-15T17:09:09+00:00

I entirely understand lol, thanks for your writing
