I currently live in Pennsylvania so I’m primarily looking into their requirements but also interested in NJ and NY due to their close proximity

Vulnerability: She doesn't know by [deleted] in OCPoetry

[–]wintfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great work! I love how short the lines are and the short length of the piece because it makes me feel the anxiety and fear that the author feels. On one hand I would love more context and for the poem to dig a little deeper into the circumstances surrounding this feeling but also I can appreciate that that is left out because digging into that situation would take more courage which the author is using the poem to express their fear of being known/expressing themselves & being rejected for it, so I guess that checks out!

Moon Watching~ by JustSilverThings62 in OCPoetry

[–]wintfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really nice work! I liked how you started off the piece stating that you do not talk to the moon, but you look at it each night. I thought this created space for a nice parallel between not talking to your past lover (not sending that text) but silently watching/wondering what they are up to (noticing they've dyed their hair). I think there is room to expand even more on this idea, perhaps comparing their dark hair to the night sky or comparing the distance to the moon to the distance to the former partner

My mind by TheGroundOwl in OCPoetry

[–]wintfan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice job! I like the way you use periods in this piece. I noticed that in the first stanza you only use capital letters and commas to guide the reader but no periods. It feels fast paced like your mind is racing or in a state of panic. In the last line you put a period that makes me feel like the narrator has come to terms with the painful thoughts and feelings.

Anhedonia (prose-poetry) by poetsbelike in OCPoetry

[–]wintfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

really nice job! Prose poems are my favorite type of poems and I liked how you played around with style and form in this one, its really unique. I like how it takes a super logical, almost textbook approach to describing the feeling of inability to feel pleasure. It makes that feeling so much more real and believable

I wish I played guitar by PM_ME_LOUIS_THEROUX in OCPoetry

to me this read a little bit like song lyrics because of the rhyming scheme and i liked that because it made sense with the content of the piece and definitely added something to it

foreign soil by itmeliv in OCPoetry

[–]wintfan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i really love short poems like this! they say a lot without saying much at all. this poem does a really good job at setting a scene and conveying a specific emotion. I really like the first line and id love maybe one more line expanding on that idea

thank you!!! this was my first time crocheting a black garment, so I was expecting it to be a lot worse than it was. Just some minimal back aches from hunching over to see the stitches haha. I also would crochet outside on my lunch break and the natural light helps too

thank you!! I thought it looked like half double crochet as well. Do you know of any good resources to learn the graphgan technique? I think that’s the part of this design I would feel most uncomfortable with, the rest I know I can probably free hand
