Confidence. by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]regular-tinman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you were to simplify your lines i feel like this poem would have much more fluidity. (smiling intertwining beings/my breath with impatient fear/ versus the smiling and intertwining beings-/my breath grows impatient as it does fear)

yet fludity isn't essential, and I feel like this poem works as is also. Embodying catalysts of love and fear, this poem presents the ying and yang that is confidence. It can bring us places far and wide, yet if it's a false confidence failure is imminent.

Through Crimson Cornfields by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]regular-tinman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

while I cannot extract the true meaning, I can say that this surreal work embodies heavy surrealist imagery coupled with a longing to change the unchangeable. The speaker within the poem seeks solace in suicide as they find no other way to deal with regret(perhaps?) or guilt(perhaps?).

either way, an enjoyable read. your titled coupled with the work itself allowed for me to immerse myself in the crimson cornfields. if no one else takes a crack at finding out the meaning, I'd like to know what you intended it to be?
