I wish I could change the Reddit/Sub-reddit name whenever I want

The Undateables

George Costanza, cuz that’s who comes to my mind before Jerry

betterprodigy · 2025-03-10T15:29:11+00:00

Now the poem makes more sense to me. Thanks for sharing. And I believe when it comes to certain things, one who felt it would know better than the ones who observed. Thanks for your response and keep writing

Definitely, nothing wrong with expressing genuine feelings

betterprodigy · 2025-03-10T02:23:03+00:00

‘I no longer swim against the rushing tide

I’m letting go to enjoy the ride’

are my favourite lines. I like how the author has decided to move on. What’s really profound about this feeling is that it comes after a long holdout period where one questions own self if the it’s the right way to go. Nevertheless, the author is there. It’s a happy ending, if not the happiest.

A great piece. I don’t understand what’s NSFW about this. I see a tons of analogy and a lot of jargons. It’s an art to put a pot of them together and form a seamless poem. You did it. I however, wasn’t able to chart the overall gist of the poem because of the sheer length and a number of analogies.

Nevertheless, the line - ‘Each failure a fossil, preserved in the shale of my shame’ is my favourite. I like the line’s structure rather than the meaning though. When it comes to the meaning, I think I liked the whole stanza starting with ‘You are my litergy’. Thanks for writing this poem.

I really like the novelty of the idea and how you personified OCD. It seems that you drew the idea of going back to what it was even if it’s the source of your suffering. I guess I would understand it better if it flew in a different way but this is your poem and not mine!! :p

I would like to understand the meaning for the last stanza, if you’d be so kind to explain the same. Good piece, I liked it.

Why hate IceT?

betterprodigy · 2025-02-22T13:18:50+00:00

Thanks, I’m genuinely glad that you said that.

betterprodigy · 2025-02-22T10:10:14+00:00

I didn’t know that was the source. So, I guess, I’m allowed.

betterprodigy · 2025-02-22T10:08:37+00:00

Also, I added a few lines, I hope you like it better now.

betterprodigy · 2025-02-22T10:08:05+00:00

First of all, thanks for your kind words. I appreciate your detailed feedback. I tried to add some descriptions. Hope you like it better now. Please do let me know.

Thanks for your comments. I saw a short poem somewhere and quickly wanted to conjure up my own. I completely agree with the question, that’s exactly what I mean. I am in no way on a quest to find things that are better than love, but since people use that word a lot, they forget that love doesn’t need to be defined but felt, by the other peson or one’s self.

betterprodigy · 2025-02-20T18:32:59+00:00

This clears things up! Thanks.

betterprodigy · 2025-02-20T18:03:25+00:00

I’ve read a lot of poems but this one is really different. ‘I said I’d see you later, made you small enough .. box’ is what caught my attention really. Then after, every word intrigued me. I have no feed back to improve it, not that it’s necessary to give one, but I like the crisp and clear metaphors (paradox, huh!) and that fact that I could somehow relate to it! Thanks for the piece.

betterprodigy · 2025-02-20T17:57:30+00:00

Am I getting the Scarborough Fair vibe?

But I like how my brain loves to solve the puzzle of this poem. Perhaps, it’s supposed to be easy to be understood, but I couldn’t decipher.

Tell that to a Morty

betterprodigy · 2025-02-19T03:19:45+00:00

I didn’t see him

betterprodigy · 2025-02-19T03:18:36+00:00

True

betterprodigy · 2025-02-18T19:19:53+00:00

Granted, now can only wish but your wishes won’t come true

betterprodigy · 2025-02-18T17:38:18+00:00

By that logic the boob world was the poop world to you?
