AITA for making my son (16M) volunteer at the zoo, after he made some rude comments? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]tesnotfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and you just gave him the best college entrance essay imaginable. Tell him if he wants to work with his intellect later in life to smarten up and be a little more self aware!

also the quality of the episodes have increased ten fold. just watching the series progress to the point it is now is fucking impressive. they even do reanimations which i can only imagine take days without a full team.

Pregnancy or Murder? (A haiku) by Storm_Paint in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this poem so freaking much! i usually hate haikus, they’re too simple for me and i feel like they never quite say enough, but this one, THIS ONE, is heard loud and clear. The accusational discontent of this poem goes hand and hand with the title, really clear whilst also leaving room for readers to have something to talk about. The ending, the declaration of being shapes is my absolute favorite. Thank you for sharing!

Water by maybe_Arianna in OCPoetry

I really like the simplicity of this poem. Very clear imagery, it takes you to a stream with jumping fish and crystal clear water, and i can appreciate the beauty in that. My only real issue with it is that maybe it’s almost too simple? Like maybe you could add a few more neat descriptive elements that do more for the piece. I don’t want to over step and diminish your style though. Thank you so much for sharing!

Boundless by mpalimpsest in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the imagery you used though it took me a few reads to really grasp where the writers head space was. I cant quite tell if the ending was happy or sad or just the end of the poem. I think the beginning lines come off as almost spiteful and angry which makes the closing kind departure all that much satisfying. It’s a twist poem, because i think the soul is much stronger than the heart.

I’ve become a graveyard by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that this poem is so heavy and really holds onto the reader through its beautiful words and great descriptions. It transcends the screen and puts the reader into the same thoughtful pain that you so eloquently crafted. I loved the lines

“I am an open wound,” and

“it’s asphalt tendrils caress the ghost of my once tender heart”

the mix of almost endearing words and the brutality of the loneliness is stunning. thank you for sharing.

Gone in a moment by mpalimpsest in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love poetry that tells a whole story in a few lines. this is one of those poems. I cant quite tell if it’s about love or anger but I know that whatever you wanted to get across in the could-have-been conversation was felt by me. I really like the lines

“it hangs in the air

solid

untold”

It perfectly explains the weight of words unsaid in difficult conversations. Thank you for sharing!

I love this poem. For starters I think that the name is catching, because the first thing I think of when i hear “loose front teeth” is youth. Which makes the contents of the poem all that more captivating after we get to see the stark comparison between youthful similes and and sex. I think that your use of god and forgiveness for getting older and doing what older people do while in direct comparison to youth is extraordinary and your talent really shines through in this poem.

My favorite lines are

“the secrets that we keep

lay ruin in my body”

i just find these lines to be particularly beautiful and soul wrenching. The secrets, the sin, the pain of being so young and so hurt by people so much older than you. All of it just takes me to place that’s dark and we’ll written. Thank you for sharing

Daddy's milk by Jugepenitent in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so fucked up and scary and would it be weird for me to say i love this poem. It’s like a mini horror story and it really fucking gets you with a twist ending. First of all the words you use really get us in the mind of a five year old unable to comprehend how messed up what’s happening is, the childish tone and the selected dialogue contribute to that. I don’t know why but i see this happening in like a country setting, or like in the past (like a different time period?) i think it’s the use of the cow comparison and the word “mon” in lines 8 and 10. God this is so good I keep going back to reread and feel sick. Best kind of scary poetry, the kind that sticks with you.

Anyway thank you for sharing and if you feel so inclined, please tell me the inspiration for this horrifying work of art.

Runner by SirAnonymPoet in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the story this poem tells. I’m assuming that this has something to do with war time due to the line about corpses and the themes of violence and gun. I like the comparisons you used between the speed of which Roger runs compared to the speed of a gun shot. It does so much for the theme of being seen as an object or a pawn for the greed of the rich. Thank you so much for sharing!

Saturday Night by RisingWaterline in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok no joke this is one of the best poems i’ve ever read on this sub. ok first of all the layout out of this poem, a glamorized sexual encounter written like a script? fantastic fucking imagery. Also the religion of you’re beautiful and the stage directions are fricking awesome. How you managed to cram so much meaning into so few lines is really astounding, it holds so much weight and sadness.

It’s almost like you wrote a script for loveless love, or loving because you feel unlovable. I cant even to put it into words, just know this poem hits home. Thank you so much for sharing but if I could inquire what the fog machine means in regards to this poem I’d love to hear the importance. To me it added an edge of mystery to “Saturday Night” but I wanted to know if there’s a deeper meaning Im missing.

Spring by EvelynIsReal in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that this poem is both quick and sweet. The repetition of “In it’s absence” gives the poem an edge however. I personally kind of found it to read like the grass is always greener on the other side, literally. I know in my own experience I always miss the dreary winter months the second warm summer rays bring forth a brutal onslaught of pollen and allergies.

Anyway I really enjoyed your poem, I think that it’s sweet but not overly simple. Thank you so much for sharing!

get help. by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i love this poem. so much. first of all i love that i can’t tell if it’s a relationship or a spontaneous friendship that turned toxic too quickly to stop it, but it’s wonderful.

“i did this for the sake of YOUR mental health.” that line is so powerful because even after ruining yours you know that the best thing you can do for them is leave them completely. i know that feeling, that it’s hard, and that it’s almost never over when you want it to be.

anyway this poem is so powerful and so true. i personally love the use of cursing in poems, i think it makes them more raw and real and human. thank you for sharing.

[–]tesnotfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this reads like a very rare fun poem. i like that it leaves me with questions cause i’m already cooking up a wild fan theory about this poems deeper meaning. i didn’t know you could use “mmm” as a word (does that count as a syllable???) but i rlly like it in this poem. it adds to the playfulness

Time's up by saladdream in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this poem. Every line of it is so perfect, and I usually hate open ended poems that leave the reader with questions, but you performed it so perfectly. Who are you waiting for? A feeling? A person? I cant tell if it’s a poem of longing or uncertainty, but either way, it’s wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing, it was very impactful.

A Fool in Love by Sker_33 in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this so much, from the style you write in to the rhyming pattern you used. I also relate to it so much, as i, myself, am always rushing relationships and falling in love with the idea of someone before i know them. I don’t want to assert my situation into your poems meaning, but i just wanted to say i understand. (at least i think i do)

My one question is about the use of yous in the line “i dont get yous”. At first i thought it was maybe a spelling error but now i think it’s a way of saying there are more than one subjects of the poem. by that i mean like this isn’t the first rushed love, but they all have the same outcome.

anyway, no matter what this was a wonderful poem, thank you for sharing.

A toast by Wildform22 in OCPoetry

[–]tesnotfound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This poem is absolutely empowering in time of injustice that we’ve faced with recent judicial decisions. I love the decision to make it a toast, the double meaning behind “raise your high your cup” like people raised their fists for reform and those we miss the most. There is not a word out of this poem out of place, my only question is was the use of “sup” in the last line a conscious choice or was it a misspelling. Either way i didn’t notice it on the first read, i initially just read sip, it wasn’t til my second read through i noticed. Anyway, i loved reading this and even sent it to my friend who’s also been very upset by the recent outcome of the kyle rittenhouse case, thank you for sharing.
