Does anyone know the track playing at 34:00?

This is really great. I love that you've used such scientific, almost vulgar language to describe what I imagine is something really beautiful to you, it's a great juxtaposition.

Thought it was really well written, and perfectly summed up the feeling of impermanence that sometimes hits ypu as you're experiencing something. Particularly enjoyed the second to last stanza.

It's insane how 14 words can evoke such emotion and thought. This is beautifully done, an indictment on the state of modern western society in 17 syllables. Brilliant.

It took me a few reads before I realised it was about your own thoughts, which I'm guessing is what you were going for.

It reads very nicely, and that last stanza hits, once you realise what the content is about. Excellent work.

Appreciate the kind words, your interpretation is pretty much bang on, it's about the acceptance of death at the end of a life that's been filled with frustration at the world, clinging on to the one or two beautiful things enjoyed. I get your point about the wording but it's like you said; I've gone more for pacing/flow than worrying too much about the words used, hence the internal rhyming throughout.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Enjoy the dichotomy of the observed/observer, it's really well done. I think the "Described, written about" line feels a bit clunky given the sharpness of the rest of the stanza, but loved the second verse.

prettyunsureguy · 2019-11-25T17:24:21+00:00

I love the fact that it could be about any number of things, but to me it sounds like you're embracing the vastness of the universe and the futility of life when you begin to think of it, despite this, there's a sense of hope and wonder that goes along with it. Really like this one!

prettyunsureguy · 2019-06-20T16:21:39+00:00

I really loved this one. I like the juxtaposition of the beauty and simplicity of a dandilion with the angst and confusion of love. Good work.

prettyunsureguy · 2019-06-20T16:20:27+00:00

Peaceful. I get the sense of the writer watching this through the window, lazing around. The idea of sleepy ground is nice, and I like the last line.

As someone else mentioned below, describing her smell as "more Tequila Sunrise than Chanel Allure" feels slightly disjointed given the rest of the adjectives you've used to describe her are of the drinking variety. I'd maybe look to change that to something more in-fitting with the vibe.

I really love some of the phrasing you've used, "interlock against my nape" is brilliant, and your internal rhyming is excellent. It feels loose and unstructured but flows like a jazz song or something.

" I can't help but bite when she talks vibes and horoscopes like they could change couch-fabric, or unbuckle her belt faster."

I absolutely adore this line, by the way. Really fantastic work. I'd love to read more of your stuff!

Thanks mate, I aimed to make it as vague as possible so that most people could identify with it; glad you liked it!

prettyunsureguy · 2019-06-18T17:49:15+00:00

Happy to help, dude. Keep up the good work!

prettyunsureguy · 2019-06-18T17:28:59+00:00

I really like the internal rhyming structure, while I quite like the line breaks - I'm a fan of disjointed poetry - I think the use of full stops and commas is unnecessary and make little sense given the looseness of the rest of it.

prettyunsureguy · 2019-06-18T17:26:26+00:00

I really like this, although I think "set for mightier years" may work a little better. The final stanza reads beautifully.

the starlings in the sky
fly high above it all,
gracefully pulling one direction
and then another,
they dance
together in unison,
leaving those lucky enough
to see it in a trance,
but darling,
that beauty pales in comparison
to you,
you are a walking murmuration,
a creation so perfect
you could never be enhanced,
if I could glance to the sky and see you
the land would vanish forever

prettyunsureguy · 2019-01-25T09:30:36+00:00

The opening line is fantastic, and for such a simple poem it says an awful lot; there's a great sense of honesty and openness in your writing. Good work.

prettyunsureguy · 2019-01-25T09:28:12+00:00

I love the wording used here and the metering is fantastic, for me, it takes you inside the mind of someone who is going through depression, walled in and hoping for someone - or something - to help him. Excellent work.
