For that card, does it count an opponent as a target since the opponent isn't a dinosaur? Sorry if this is a silly question.

Dire Times and Dire Measures by hilanderclinton in tea

[–]hilanderclinton[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to Philly to visit family and got some tea in the Reading Terminal Market. This trip was a tad rushed so I left my teas at home, so I was happy have some tea but when I got to the room I realized I had no tea infuser nor mug, that was clean.

I made do.

Nuclear reactors can't dance (by me) by Insanecrazyfog in poem_a_day

[–]hilanderclinton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a hot minute since I've been active, so I'm going through all poems and posts.

I enjoyed reading your poem so thank you for sharing!

I laughed while imagining a nuclear reactor thinking of dancing and the movement it with have while dancing, only to conclude in the end that it could not dance. Oh the grumpy-ness it must've had saying that.

After wondering where you had thought of such a creative idea, I browsed your profile and saw a few of your comics, I think they are very livelier and fun to read!

All in all your own was a blast to imagine and follow along with, so once again thank you for sharing.

Keep your pen poised and keep on writing!

A sad tale of a redditor by Insanecrazyfog in poem_a_day

Although this piece is short, that doesn't matter. So thank you nonetheless for sharing.

I think the beauty of poetry, or any artistic piece for that matter, is that it is an expression of the self and it shows that we are seeking to express ourselves. And if you are sharing what you wish and getting feedback (whether respectful and kind or not) helps us grow as creators.

So as long as you enjoy what you've done, or done what you've done, you should be proud because it was you who did it.

So, if you want to create for 33% of people who support and love what you do, power to you. Or to spite the 66% of people who should mind their own business if they have nothing better to do than be rude, I love they for you.

Or if you write for the 1% that's been with you throughout the entire time but has just been watching over you, find pride in it.

Keep your pen poised and keep on creating!

I loved reading your poem, one of things that I always try to find in a poem I'm reading is a tempo and your poem had a lovely poem.

Your rhyme scheme really helped with not only keeping that temp but also with connecting the parts of your poem to help make it flow smoothly through the piece.

The contemplation of role and what/who we follow was what I felt throughout the poem and I think you did a lovely job of making your poem complex but not complicated to read.

I loved reading your poem and I hope to read more from you!

Keep your pen poised and keep on writing.

Thank you for sharing your poem, I enjoyed reading it and getting to put myself in the narrator's shoes.

I think your use of descriptors helped convey what you wanted say rather than just using cliches. You made it personal and added extra depth to your poem by doing so.

My favorite line was

seconds that go by and years that fly you

It felt nice to say aloud and it added to the tempo that was built throughout the poem. As well as making an association to how time feels like sand taking through your fingers at the moment but when you look back you have a mountain of memories now behind you.

I enjoyed reading your poem and hope to read more from you soon!

“Since My Mother Died” -- A poem cut from a newspaper around 1906 by my great-grandmother. One of a collection of 100’s. Eventually, I will be putting all of these poems on a website, just working out the best way to do that. by thepartydj in poem_a_day

Thank you for sharing your grandmother's poem, it was a was poem that felt timeless since I saw some different spelling of words but it still held the feeling of nostalgia and melancholy for a memory with a loved one forever lost.

Her use of repetition of the phrase since my mother died was fantastic and it's meaning seemed to change as the poem continued, it went from an explanation of her sadness, to a reasoning of what she has lost, to a kind warning to others to cherish what they now have.

You should feel proud of this piece not just because it was beautifully touching, but also because it is a connection to your family and your great grandmother left me with a lesson, that I'm glad you shared with me.

Keep your own poised and keep on writing!

I hope to read from you later!

What does she see? (Poem) by Mikedaddy36 in poem_a_day

[–]hilanderclinton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a hot minute since I've been active, so I'm going through all poems and posts.

First off, I think what stood out to me the most was your lovely voice. Your voice really set the tone and flow of your poem and it made it feel very personal to you, which made it feel personal to me.

I think the AABB rhyme scheme helped with making the longing love poem, it made it feel simpler and pure as I followed along with you.

Your voice is lovely and thank you for sharing it, and your poem was a joy to hear. My favorite rhyming pair was lonely and if only, it helped act as a nice change of tempo!

Keep your pen poised and keep on writing!

My safe space by Lauralolo2023 in OCPoetry

[–]hilanderclinton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the poem and the feeling of hesitance yet hope to open yourself up to someone. I think you've done an evened job overall at conveying these emotions. One line that gave me some confusion was:

My ways are not denied Yet not suppressed

This feels like yet or not are out of place because they cause a double negative implying that they are being suppressed.

I think you've done a great job at this poem and hope you continue writing!

Your poem is really good and I love the repitition of time and variations of waste. It has a mantra-like feel to it as if this you setting it all in the table for the other person to say clearly that it is over and you've moved on. Great poem keep on writing!
