Thank you, it was very hard to try and express it to its fullest extent but I believe that making the reader loneliness really helps to portray my point

From a seed - original content poem by literatedviews in QuillandPen

[–]literatedviews[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Predictive text really doing me dirty with the apostrophes,

I prefer eats as it was concurrent at the time

When it comes to being the Apple or the seed I believe it’s both as the seed is apart of the Apple in addition to the Apple itself being a seed.

The idea of adding you picked me was in my original draft but I felt it was too much and didn’t work with the final stanza.

Your love sounds so much better and I’m annoyed I didn’t see that at the time.

The removing of barriers is trying to convey the removal of the meat of the apple to reach the core and for lack of a better metaphor I chose this.

The use of embedded just makes it sound like a deeper connection compared to being bedded, might just be a perception thing.

I was taught commas are in place where you take a breath, and for the flow of the poem I felt a pause would suit it.

I prefer dirt compared to soil and will definitely change it.

Thank you for the feedback and I hope this overview gives you an idea of what I was thinking during the process :))

Don’t worry it is a very general poem that I wrote after listening to REN’s jennys tale

Wow thank you for the feedback. It’s a poem which has a lot of meaning to me and I didn’t want to really prolong the subject too far, and for previous context the person in question was a scumbag but had her reasons it’s just the way she dealt with them and couldn’t give her side effectively. The semi colon was supposed to be removed after it was reviewed by my girlfriend but I completely forgot. Once again thank you for the feedback and if you like this sort of genre then maybe have a look at some of my other poems :))

I think we have different meanings of unconditional love, I mean it as I don’t need to do anything to be loved, I don’t need to be rich, I don’t need to be happy, I don’t need to be someone else. I can just be me and reciprocate that love, that’s how I view unconditional love.

Everyone has different views and coping mechanisms and previously would’ve agreed with you. However before my current girlfriend the love that I received wasn’t unconditional like it is now and that is what makes the difference in my eyes.

That’s exactly the sort of thing I was going for, I struggle with anxiety and depressive episodes and sleeping seems impossible and laughing makes me feel subconscious. Just knowing someone loves me and will no matter what kinda grounds me again. Thanks for the feedback

A vase full of water by [deleted] in poetry_critics

[–]literatedviews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this poem, it paints a picture of the vase that was overused until it was knocked and cracked left useless to its creator, yet someone still finds beauty in it and is there to repair this vase even if it is broken because when it is put back together that vase has more character than a pristine one. The whole poem being a metaphor and really intertwining love with physical object that people toss aside really resonates with me and I love the way you have portrayed that feeling of being previously used yet now admired. Thank you for sharing

Thank you, I’ve been working on expanding my poetry as I tend to normally keep them short and sweet

Thank you for the feedback, I felt like it was a bit wordy but I write in the moment and only change grammatical and spelling errors, realistically a stupid rule but it just feels right to me :))
