brilliant stuff, love this.

haha, thanks

I too.

Thanks again!

I’m a big fan of self-awareness in poetry. I really like the part where you say, “try and find the meaning in these rows/it’s sitting right there, undisturbed.” YES! I dig it.

once again, thanks for all the feedback.

Ah! I love this so much!

thank you

II. is me and chng lbr. also you have such a depressing take on poetry i’m more like ha ha ha pretty words let’s string ’em together

IDK, before I joined ficly i assumed that’s what everyone did. Before that I made entire poems to use a single line. And then I found out that what I believed was the opposite of the truth, but by then the idea that each poem has some meaning had been ingrained in me: perhaps it’s the singaporean lit student mindset to have scavenge hunting, except now I’m the planter.

Ironically, this poem was written just to use stanza III. I had it lying around in my drafts and I simply added the meaning afterwards.
