Essie: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and pos-

Whole: I wrote you a poem.

Essie, already crying: You did?

A companion to this poll. As with that, I’m not claiming that all of these are universally liked, just needed a concise summary.

Reblog for sample size please?

i need to read every poetry anthology ever

[flagellant]

the term is not kigu it's kigo (季語)

Yeah I will fully admit when I woke up this morning to see seanan mcguire had reblogged it my immediate thought was "no it has such an embarrassing misspeaking on my partttt". I think I remember when writing the post originally thinking it was kigu, and then correcting myself with "No, that's the pajamas, it's kigo", and then double-psyching myself out by going "Wait, no, it's kigu and you're overthinking things" and going with that.

Going through my life

Just taking care of business

Then BOOM! Memories.

I love my kids so much Who shine bright like the sun They are so awesome

Father

Sometimes, selfishly

I wish for no Father's Day

And its reminders

I try to take joy

In others' relationships

And celebrate them

But there is always

That little girl asking me

Where did Daddy go?

I am older now

I could have been a mother

If I'd felt it right

No one is psychic

I couldn't promise a child

They'd never ask, too

So instead I write

About men who guide others

Make others feel safe

Be there for others

And give time for themselves too

Men who love freely

I know of a few

Good men fate has not yet blessed

This day is theirs, too

HAIKU I: THE OLD COUNTRY [1/15]

[offtovisityourmother]

Ok I just need to check something: la da dee diddum lada da dum doo diddle dum doo la dee do

There, that's sufficient

[cottoncandywoof]

first of all, thank you SO much for taking the time to go over it with me. i was having a conversation with a friend, and they said "Poetry is about rhythm and space. So it's still structured, there's just different ways to structure it", which is very general, but still a more or less satisfying answer. i understand the concept of "rules withhold creativity", but i believe i was more asking, when does it stop being poetry and become prose? which is more or less why i was asking, is it just it being chopped up? thats the only reason its poetry, with nothing else to withhold the medium?

The most sure sign that someone doesn’t know much about poetry is when they insist that poetry has to rhyme.

And the most sure sign that someone is a little too pretentious about poetry is when they say that they hate rhyming poetry.

Sometimes I really want to write down my posts like a haiku just for funsies

[argmonster]

What do you call these babies?!?! They are DELIGHTFUL and I want them so bad right now. Savory stuffed taro root that is then deep fried. I had them once at a dim sum place but didnt order them myself. I've seen them referred to as wu gok on a cursory internet search. much appreciated if anyone would input their knowledge on this wonderful food

I always want them- incredible, delicious, and wonderful treats
