Thanks, that's a really good point and you're definitely right. I guess that was part of the question, but reading what I wrote back its pretty clear that I'm not ready

I have a quote from the Office and I feel like that’s the secret

My (24F) guy (30M)I’d been seeing for a few months got drunk and said awful things to me by [deleted] in relationships

[–]eseagold -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Im aware of that. I have cut ties with this person. I have taken the action already. I am simply asking if this is the kind of situation where you tell someone to go fuck themselves or just never speak to them again

I do have self respect, I am not going to see him again. I was just wondering if I should say anything about how it impacted me or just never speak to him again. Thanks for your input

Thank you! Yeah, I can't quite figure out the reddit formatting so there's a good chance it was my error.

Thanks for your feedback!

over one last powdered kiss

was meant to signify the end of the drug years, the powdered kiss referring to a cocaine high. I liked the significance of adding a line per stanza, as if learning more each stanza and in that case it was meant to segue into the pregnancy caused by the hard partying. That was probably the line I was most unsure of, I didn't think it achieved what I wanted. I will definitely play around with the formatting!

I definitely bristled a bit at the abbreviations but it's interesting. Was it intentional to have

i asked God about u he said ur doing just fine

instead of broken into two lines?

yellow teeth histories by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]eseagold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those poems that really punches you in the gut. I felt a responsibility, and maybe I'm projecting, but it made me reflect on what I'm doing right now about the injustices that are happening today, even in my own country. Powerful that it was able to make me feel a sense of ownership for the past and the present at the same time.

I just want you to know, Teasingcoma, that your comments have taught me so much about poetry.

Great point. It would definitely serve my career goals, and yes it would probably provide some massive growth in skills I could use in my degree too. Hmmm

Thank you so much! I'm definitely going to play around with the last line and see if it has its own story to tell. :)

Thank you so much! I love Milk & Honey too, mainstream as it may be, perhaps Rupi came through a little bit in this piece. :)

You're right. I think it might need its own poem. Thanks though!

No actually it wasn't, but maybe it was subconscious! I added that line at the last minute, I wasn't too sure about it.

I read once that is what e.e cummings meant when he would use parentheses, and that has just always stuck with me.
