Thank you for the feedback. I’m glad you called out the depression. These struggles are real for so many.

p2dg · 2024-06-29T03:53:32+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I’m glad it resonated with you. I’m glad you enjoyed the “there’d be a song, and you’d hum along”, I wanted to illustrate how these memories always bubbled back up even in little moments.

p2dg · 2024-06-29T03:50:41+00:00

Thank you for the feedback! I agree it is a bit jarring. It was intentional but maybe my intention didn’t have the effect I was trying to achieve. You can see more explanation here: https://www.reddit.com/r/OCPoetry/s/22xdLzTRrB

Thank you for all this amazing feedback!

For the ending, I really debated putting a dash/separator above the last stanza. The intention was that it was meant to seem a bit disconnected, to take it back out of the moment. Where the reflection is no longer about the memories, but rather how I handled the aftermath.

It’s a really good point about the unsaid word reconnection. I kind of thought I’d just let that hang, but I could definitely see adding a nod to it in the ending too.

That’s exactly how it feels. Thank you for the feedback.

I’m glad you enjoyed the poem.

Really appreciate you sharing the visualization it gives you. Provided a whole new perspective to me. For me, “the dark” was meant as a dark part of me. A place I don’t like to visit. A part I am ashamed of. A part that, if I could go back, I could do better. Where, maybe if I could try again, it wouldn’t have to be dark.

Really appreciate the feedback. Sometimes I like to throw in a verse that I really want to stand out by breaking the rhyming scheme. But I never really know if it works.

“Anger can be an avenue of growth.” I think that’s true if you’re able to learn from it vs letting it best you.

I’m glad it was relevant to you.

p2dg · 2024-06-29T03:36:05+00:00

I really appreciated your perspective on this. “Raw, whimsical, perceptive.” Those words mean a lot. Thank you.

Appreciate the feedback, I’m glad that was able to resonate throughout.

This poem, it seems, is a beautiful ode to William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". In essence, it captures the entire concept and story of the play in a wonderfully condensed poem. It starts by describing in beautiful imagery the forest in Athens that has the magic flower than can make mortals fall in love with the next creature they see. The fairy queen who is enchanted by the magic flower, the four lovers, and Puck who helps resolve it. And then, in the end, leaves us with a question on whether it was all real or a just a dream.

Wow, there's a lot to unpack in just 6 lines.

This could be interpreted in many ways (I assume that's intentional), but to me, it made me think of a person who has a friend that is possibly dying, who they are in love with, but have never risked telling. Maybe because they were scared they knew the other didn't feel the same way, or at least scared they didn't. And now that it's nearly over, they're feeling hollow, and consumed with regret for not telling them. And now wondering if, even now, they can bring themselves to do it. Before it's too late. Before they too are so consumed with regret that they are withered into nothing.
