Reading a commentary on Callimachus' hymn to Apollo and the author gives a list of works that describe Apollo's beauty. How awfully nice of them 😌
#I've already looked at one of them (Lygdamus' Elegies)#I have to say it seems like Lygdamus had a huge crush on Apollo#i mean Latin poets in general visualise Apollo in a very dreamy manner in their poems#but I fear this Lygdamus dude takes the cake#its something along the lines of#“Apollo's body was as fair as the moon and it was also rosy like the blush on a newly wed bride's face”#LIKE HELLO SIR#I also really like how whenever Apollo's beauty is described#his clothes and his lyre is also given some attention<3#mine

love the plot twist that Kashimo's the one who's horny for Sukuna, not Yorozu
#I mean she likes him for his strength and wants to own him (marry him)#all that was always more about her tho and the feelings she projected onto him she doesn't actually care what Sukuna looks like#meanwhile Kashimo is writing poems about Sukuna's beauty#jjk spoilers#jjk 238#jjk leaks#yorozu#kashimo hajime

the shapeshifter
I speak with a voice that is not my own and an inflection that I learned from the television and my father. I hold myself with a learned awkwardness I can make myself short and ambling and casual if I want to hands in my pockets and legs spread wide on seats with a practiced ungainlyness. or I can be tall and flirty and loose at all the right joints a graceful flamboyance, elegance almost but not quite. poised with my hands drumming gently on my crossed knees or wrapped delicately around the stem of a wineglass teacup always with the pinkie out. I was acting from the moment I tumbled out of the womb slipping on dresses and skirts for a lark once in a blue moon to my fancy. dirt on my knees and sticks in my hands and blood on my knuckles. throwing mud at the boys down by the creek and sticking crayfish in the girl's faces until they screamed moss under my bare scratched feet in the forest and later my skirt twirled around me on the dancefloor. the boys laughed after and called me lady and offered me their hand but I just give them a grin with a sharpness to it and punch them hard in the arm push them into the lake and they jump up laughing and splash me back. I run from dogs gleefully with a baseball cap in my hand hop the fence panting and laughing and present it bowed down to half my height to the girl who lost it and she giggles. later I'll hold the door open for her and for her brother I wonder what the boys from the forest would say now if they could see me sipping wine gracefully in my oversized tattered t-shirt and cargo shorts with stains I bought them with I think if they called me lady I would splash them with the wine and laugh.
#this poem is not about an inherently trans experience. but it is about my trans experience.#this is me looking back on my childhood from a perspective of trans joy.#I may not have known it was trans joy then. but I do now and I think that's beautiful#my writing#I wrote this entirely on the clock btw. istg my best ideas come to me at work when I'm bored

#beautiful things list in the tags#so i can remember a day that seemed full of them#going to the religious bookstore and finding lots of things (the beautiful advent wreath!)#quick trip to the library and picking up a couple of middle grade books on a whim#(short things that don't add much to the overwhelming tbr but add a bit of joy into the options list)#going to wendy's and getting a lime coke#listening to fascinating religious history things that opened up new ideas and made new connections with what i'd been reading#wedding dress shopping with my sister#in a cute little shop with nice staff#where i felt like my input was helpful#wandering a bit in a city we never go to#in a rainy chilly late night atmosphere that felt very hallmark christmas movie#(in a good cozy way not in the over-the-top christmas decorations way)#thrift shopping and finding a lightweight sweater that fills a need in my wardrobe#(since we've had a warm year that limits me to only a few of my sweaters)#coming home and finding that a book i ordered had arrived#lots of lovely poem recommendations and conversations#some sights on a rainy day that filled me with that fantasy sort of awe and longing#seeing a distant shore through a fog that looked like an ancient castle rising up out of the mist#a hill of plants topped with crimson leaves that looked like a fabric or wallpaper pattern come to life#it was just a day filled with a lot of beauty#and i made a conscious effort to notice it#one of those days you want to keep

Beauty and intelligence
🍓It is said that outside doesn't matter and the only thing that matters is the inside. The pure soul hiding in your body. Trying to take care of it may lead you to books. But does reading makes your soul beautiful?
In my opinion books can make your soul prettier and your thoughts more pleasant. Although many writers these days can’t be called writers, but just wattpad users whose book happened to be published. You have to be careful not to waste your time reading those.
Your soul is the part of you that consists of your mind, character, thoughts, and feelings, so don’t waste your time doing things that only can lead to the fall of it.
So what to read to make your soul prettier and your mind more thoughtful?
🍓Here is my list of books which made me more reflective and open minded:
m. l. rio - if we were villains
oscar wilde - the picture of dorian gray
donna tartt - the goldfinch
donna tartt - the secret history
hanya yanagihara - a little life
madeline miller - the song of achilles
george orwell - 1984
george orwell - animal farm
alex michaelides - the maidens
alex michaelides - the silent patient
ottessa moshfegh - my year of rest and relaxation
sylvia path - the bell jar
These books made me rethink my life and left me with emptiness and a prettier soul.
English isn't my first language, so I'm sorry in advance for all the mistakes I made. xoxo deadflowerssociety🐇

I really love hope is a thing with feathers and I also really LOVE the hope as a sewer rat poem too but I wish it was not explicity written as "well actually" against Dickinson asgvsjnk. The imagery is SO GOOD but this whole vibe of "my metaphor is better than your metaphor" kinda sours it for me
#i dont like the patronizing usage of ''Emily'' like theyre explaining something to a child#admittedly dickinson has been dead for over a century so its probably huge deal to talk about her flippantly in terms of poetry#this is just me personally. how i feel about it#i dont like her being namedropped like that#it has this energy of ''haha lemme school this bitch''#when the poem itself was never supposed to see the light of day. she never consented to it being published. girl was 5 years in the grave#it feels like making fun of somebodys diary#i also dont like how it kinda makes fun of dickinson's imagery of hope as something ''beautiful delicate'' thing#i always interpreted as it is told. a little bird. i pictured a fat fluffy thing like the ones i see outside my window#ive known them to be stubborn and mischivious#when we leave out seeds on the lawn the little ones are always bullied away by the crows and magpies#but they keep trying. theyll attempt to sneak over and peck away before the crows notice them#they ARE optimistic and resilient little things. tougher than they look#so i always found the metaphor apt#sewer rat also fits just as well. but i think it depends on the angle from how youre looking at it#so i dont like this vibe of ''it should be more RAW it should be UGLIER'' cuz even tho i love that style of writing#it just feels like unnecessary one-upping here#especially considering dickinson was severely depressed and tons of her poems reflect it#god forbid she dabble around with the occasional light hearted poem about seeing hope as a silly little bird#asgsjsnk sorry im not trying to make a statement or anything. ill delete this later probably

I'm so not normal about nursery songs like You Are My Sunshine... we are singing our loved ones (babies and young especially) that they are the sun in our hearts, that they warm us with their very presence and that they are so, so dear and loved. How could you hate humanity when we have this unadulterated love for each other?
#positivity#that's why i changed my header to what it is now#entering my hopepilled era (i am still compulsively online about it though)#do other countries have songs like the english you are my sunshine? i am SURE they're out there#but each time i look for songs with the same themes as you are my sunshine it's just equivalent translations of the phrase#anyway... i know i post a lot of hopeful/positive stuff because we need it#the club is bumping. the ladies look good. the alcohol is flowing. there is much pain in the world but not in this room.#(also the context for that quote is the raver was ranting about how osama bin laden looks like a dick so FUCK that guy)#(note that the raver kid said FUCK osama because he looks like a dick. i am not supporting osama bin laden)#please for your own sake... find one small but beautiful thing and become OBSESSED with how beautiful and meaningful it is to you#if you are from another country and have a sweet or kind little poem/song akin to the song i mention: PLEASE SHARE IT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE#please allow me the kindness of breaking my heart over how beautiful this world is because i cannot handle just how beautiful we are

I am a victim of your love,
Drifting away as I lose myself in your eyes,
Throwing all my fears behind,
As I hand in my heart entirely to you,
Lacing my fingers with yours,
Letting you take the lead,
Becoming forever yours at the first instance...

in a yearning competition and my opponent is venti the bard, the anemo archon, barbatos themself (i am losing immediately, he has 2,600+ years of it)
#like#… venven how many poems have you dedicated to the bard#how many arts ?#those hc’s where there’s a painting of the bard somewhere in mond (as well as the other old mond crew members) ohhh you Know#he stops by it often#not to mention they probably yearn sm for the company of their other friends too#this bard is just constantly loving and yearning#you look into their eyes and it’s so Soft and sad. bittersweetly beautiful#he has things to say !! he has things people have told him that he keeps close to his chest and will die with#(<- also fully believe even if ven talked to us abt bard we wont ever fully know the story.)#(bard told him to keep it a secret and thousands of years don’t meant shit to a promise. he WILL be keeping it no matter what.)#(his friend asked him to.)#lantern says stuff

they found a girl at the beach
her words all washed away
still feeling waves against her legs
and whale skin at her touch
foam in her hair, salt in her veins
so
they tell her about the sea
#poetry#haiz writes#REPOSTING because the format of a quote post made in 2013 just. breaks! fun#this poem is from over ten years ago i forgot i wrote it but it showed up when i looked for another post of course#the tumblr search function is broken in very interesting ways#the original was in norwegian and the translation needed some editing#but that's the beauty of it isn't it. a piece of art is never really truly finished. you can change it forever. and it will change without#i have a hankering to get back into actually writing poems again. it was a part of my daily life as a teen#but i dont... know how to get into that kind of space anymore. probably because it doesnt exist in the same shape#so i gotta carve it out again and it's hard!#also this is not what the poem is About but i can tell i wrote this after i watched Whale Rider (2002) for a school assignment
