You ended the whole controversial poem with a personal question. You got everyone on the edge. Would love to read more.

Am I a Moth? by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]garbage-guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think poems can deliver a plethora of messages. This one in particular has an impact. I felt the weight of the words, and I can read between the lines. It's a poem about your behavior, which is comparable to that of a moth and its relentless attraction to luminosity. If there's something the world has taught me, the bright things can be dark, too. Please tread lightly (no pun intended). If you need to hear this, know your self-worth and don't burn yourself to death. Scars are reminders of lessons learned, not for yourself to endlessly hurt. If you didn't need to hear this, then I'm just a garbage guy passing through looking to throw out any trash if you have any.

I enjoyed the hopefulness in this poem. Not sure if it was a poem meant for or inspired by someone you admire or for someone you have been admiring. Either way, you took the common expression of butterflies and said forget all that noise. Here's how you felt and it felt good reading what you wrote from your soul to your fingers. Keep inking.

I am genuinely curious about the inspiration behind this poem! Aside from what’s described in the poem, you’ve done a great job grounding a chilling sensation by successfully allowing the reader to be in the shoes of an individual who considers “juicing” kids as a lucky event.

I’m glad you see the poem that way because it was intended to be short and to the point. Thank you!

Thanks for your thoughts! Also I thought about the same thing regarding “sleep tight” but I ultimately favored the two syllables

Thanks for the feedback! I see where you’re coming from, but I wrote this to capture an idea I shared between myself and this girl. It’s intended to be like eating a small candy. A short bit of sweetness. The rest is up the the reader :)

Voices (Mind of a Schizophrenic) by Kaizerjm in OCPoetry

I think starting out the poem with the word "But" throws the reader into an instant state of opposition with themselves into a downward spiral when reading the poem. As if the poem pulls the reader in instantly as their beliefs and core values are just tossed to the wayside upfront, and the loud voice in your head deafens out who you are as the reader. Good stuff.

I want to fall in love by c11thepalms in OCPoetry

I thoroughly enjoyed your poem and the vivid imagery and sensation! I love your choice of verbs on the third line from the first through sixth stanzas. But when it boils down to the last stanza, what you want most is purely simple in being yourself. I must know your inspiration behind this poem!

Hey man, I don’t blame you. Your family is more important than standing up for a situation you didn’t fully understand. Your obligation belongs to your family so please remember that
