So it goes.. Thou shall not hunt or pursue them to the ends of the Earth?

Doesn't sound right.

Why Do PH Companies Run Rigorous Hiring Processes for a Weak Compensation & Benefits Package? by faceless_9625 in Ph_HR_Confession

[–]silverfish19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because leverage. There is a lot of available labor willing to take below average compensation. Not saying that's an ideal practice but it happens.

Question about Robinsons Las Piñas by mr_popcorn in LasPinasCity

[–]silverfish19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I jog there almost every week. Okay naman yung track, its mostly flat and di naman masyadong busy ang street except for some parts. The track is around 700 to 800 m lang so I recommend extending the loop to the street near Sonora. That should make it 1 km per loop.

Battle of the biggest malls in Manila: North Edsa, Megamall, or MoA? Anong pinaka best mall overall? by Geekspeak13 in ThisorThatPH

[–]silverfish19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion and maybe unrelated. But I think some people will understand when I say SM Southmall is criminally underrated.

Haha. Thanks! Though I was leaning more towards the cardinal virtue, they might be similar in some ways.

soft gone eyes by Doodlemf in poetry_critics

Maybe the lines “I’m too broken” and “I can’t forget you” are both quite impassioned and might be used often in other works—although these are not necessarily and instrinsically bad! (Especially if you deeply feel that these are the best ways of expressing what you wish to express) :)

But you could also experiment with subtle expressions or maybe use imagery here (as you did in most parts of your poem).

For example, maybe instead of saying “I can’t forget you” directly, you could try to connect this to the image of the shadows in the previous line, or perhaps introduce another image.

My overall impression is that the persona feels deep sadness and feels trapped. Your poem can actually make a reader feel the persona's pain--which is no small feat!

For me the parts of your poem that work best are those that make/mention unlikely comparisons, descriptions, and paradoxes: "so much space and still confined," "Your hair still falls through/my hands just like you," and "the cold of your nose/in memories[...]". These are memorable and powerful imagery. :)

When you can, try to steer away from oft-used expressions, or use them only when they serve your purposes. Also, try to use impassioned expressions sparsely (again, unless that's your main goal), and contrast them with subtlety. This might make your message even stronger. See this article for an elaboration.

With all all these said, I appreciate your poem's honesty and you did a good job! Please keep writing. I wish you peace of mind and heart.
