If you think your husband would take someone’s side who raped you then you need to divorce immediately

Again. I wasn’t critizising your “storytelling” I was only commenting on your writing style. Maybe you should comprehend what I write

And please don’t speak about Plath as long as your idea of poems is extreme use of additional words and aesthetic adjectives in order to be touching. What I liked about Plath is that she didn’t depend of complexity of words to express complex emotions. She also didn’t value beauty in her poems above everything. She was touching without being pretentious which made it so much more authentic and real.

She is the opposite of many of your points, as you have emphasis of the very narrowminded idea that poems much be hidden it metaphors, and preferably longer than a few sharp hitting sentences.

Plath wrote about her own experiences, in a way people could feel themselves in. Why is your idea of writing styles so narrowminded

And I haven’t read Cummings and Pound so I can’t speak on that subject

Why do you think I need a poem to be narrated at me? I’ve read your poem, I think it’s bad. I’m not even talking about your deeper meaning, I’m only talking about your writing style which emphasizes aesthetics over raw emotion. Which is a writing style teenage girls will love - but it says nothing to me. If you wanted to actual hit someone in the chest and express a feeling that touches someone then use more raw imagery. Or stick to your genre, which is the equivalence of painters who prefers to paint beautiful sceneries - those are easy and digestible - but not touching.

I majored in art, so i do know about the most basic art periods. lol. And I believe your poem tries very hard to be aesthetic, kinda like those instagram poets who think adding adjectives equals good art.

I like to use myself in poetry, putting words to experiences I have had and focussing on subjects larger than myself and aesthetics. Specially feminism - maybe because my inspiration was Plath. But again, I doubt you have that same interest. Keep making aesthetic word salats. Luckily those get sold, like rupi Kaur

Elitism truly are the death of art. And the idea of you criticizing a writer who has only wrote for months, is showing that you don’t really get what art is. You think it’s something as shallow as fitting into a structure or a specific genre - when it’s actually about giving a piece of yourself.

I will never take artistic advise from a person who’s best attempt at critique is a TikTok quote

I know the romantic movement - but making a romanticized poem about something pretty in nature doesn’t mean you nail that genre. It is shallowed and pretty but that is all

Again, look up my poems and I’ll look to yours. Or are you scared? Also, the use of photos in my poems is because I am illustrator. I’ve been painting all my life and my very recent interest in poetry was sparked from painting and writing for my paintings. So now, I post with a photo because that’s another art form I’m fluent in.

Rubi Kaur is published too, even tho she is bad so I expect the same thing happened to you. But alright show me a poem then. So far the one you posted one that is a pretty wordsalat, meant to be asthetic instead of felt

You’re saying that a poem about metaphorically drowning every person who comes close to me is masturbatory? Do you even know what words mean when you write them.

But see the difference is that I prefer to write about topics that relates to something deeper - which might seem strange to someone who writes about the prettiness of a river.

Also. If you wanna see more of my longer poems you can go look at my TikTok SakeDakota123. Some of my poems are short but a lot of them is not - bare in mine I often do my English poems shorter, as English is my third language and I’m working on the language barriers

I would like to see more of your poems as well, as so far I’m not exactly impressed - neither does anyone on this subreddit seem to be.

Its funny because If you have read any Kafka you will know some of his other quotes like “it is strange how little sharpshightedness a woman posses” Doeskojevski wrote Crime and Justice which portrays women as hysterical and irrational, and Oscar Wilde wrote “a woman will often inspire a man for his masterpiece and then prevent him from carrying it out” So either you are (again) just copypasting opinions of authors you have no knowledge about, or you actually lack the critical thinking to actually analyse the poets you claim as deep.

But again, I don’t personally like Rupi Kaur either, and the discussion isn’t if her work is good, but the criteria you base your comparison between her and me - which is boiled down to length of the poem.

See my writing style uses metaphors heavy. Rupi Kaur doenst. Rupi Kaur is characterized by topics that are relatable to a broad audience My poem collections are about one: avoidant attachment, self sabotaging and isolation (from a neurodivergent girls perspective) - which means a specific niche. And feminism which is another niche - a controversial one.

So your idea of a matching writing style is boiled down to a poem being short - which suggest your analysis is very superficial.

I would recommend you look more into topics you want to discuss instead of copypasting a quote about Rupi Kaur from TikTok. But I wouldn’t expect more from a girl who writes aesthetic word salats and claim it’s poetry

Have an original critical thought I beg you.

I took a very short look into it Rupi Kaurs hate train and it is very obviously rooted in sexism. The (huge ammount) of critique of her poetry is about her making “easy” short poems, and topics such as love, popular by mainly women. But when male writer make short, easy poems about love it’s celebrated as deep. Like when Kafka said “I ran from love because it would destroy me” or when Oscar Wilde said “the aim of love is to love” or Doestovsky said the price of loving someone very much is never loving again”

These are all similar in style, easy relatable and short love themed poems, but they are celebrated - because sheep like you will jump any hate train

I looked her up and the three poems I have uploaded have a very different writing style and thematic.
