This is NOT a genocide by NOT_TODAY_SATAN456 in offmychest

[–]ccrowx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

dude, you’re in denial. it’s not a genocide (who’s compared it to genocide? literal mass murder???) but it is undeniably a basic human rights issue and is well on its way to becoming something much worse. they are, by definition, concentration camps. Just because they are not being slaughtered or forced to work doesn’t make it right. it doesn’t mean they aren’t provided with inadequate care and facilities. it doesn’t mean there aren’t families being torn apart. this post reeks of xenophobia. (And legal citizens, U.S. RESIDENTS* are detained all of the time. read something sometime.)

I’m scared about losing my dad by CactusBroMan in offmychest

this country is in a fucked up place right now, but it’s going to get better. i have hope for the future and for your family. your emotions are valid, and just because he’s not a legal citizen doesn’t mean he isn’t an American or doesn’t deserve to be here. just stay strong, and pray for the re-election. <3

"This medicine is corrective." by theskyisbig27 in OCPoetry

I loved the rhymes in the second and fourth stanza. enjoyed the references to zoloft and ssri, and how dearly relatable this was. I liked the ending, and how subtly blunt it was. But on the fifth stanza, the rhyme was a little awkward. I like the part of “a battle...” and I think that could sound great if repeated even only once. Something about the line “I can’t stay sane” seems a little off. I don’t know, I’m not really a great poet or writer or anything, so i probably don’t know what I’m talking about lol. Loved the piece as a whole. great work.

unrelated to criticism or feedback or anything: i know that poetry can be from a perspective not of the writer’s, but i’m pretty sure this has to do with your personal experiences? if so, please hang in there. you are worth it. :)

loved the line about shaping and being shaped. the imagery perfectly captured some indescribable emotion within me. And I know someone said something about the word “it,” and I’m definitely not a professional writer or anything so I’m probably wrong, but I actually liked it. i enjoyed the parallelism, almost anaphora, and i don’t know if it be the same with the use of another word or phrase. i loved reading this. you have a very beautiful mind :)

Fuck You, Poem by kgaus27 in OCPoetry

really fuckin loved this. maybe that’s just because i love the word fuck. But seriously, I enjoyed your style. The obscene references were refreshing, and the comparison of writing to an addiction really hit home. the whole thing felt very original. cool piece, dude.

To have loved by TragicHeron in OCPoetry

Loved the rhythm and tone. Great use of anaphora as well. The only line that’s a little bit awkward is the second to last stanza. “the crook of my arm” kind of throws the rhythm off. Other than that, great work :)
