#poem recommendation

[synintheraven]

I'm awful at picking songs and know 0 poems/writings but I wanted to write something around some sketches so um anybody feels like recommending stuff I can use?

I want something that mentions hands (I found some stuff but everything sort of suggests touch in a sexual way which is not very university-friendly 🫣) - don't think it's gonna be that clear once written down so if it's subtle it's fine I just don't want it to be too suggestive hehe

#I considered using my own fic but dialogues would look weird #so yeah um #song recommendation #poem recommendation #?

Beautiful from Ordinary Days

#EDIT: I added links to the post’s caption go click them. #I did this because people were mistaking the words as a poem. I love poems. it’s not a poem. #it’s a song from a musical that deserves more attention. go listen to the song. if you like it go listen to the musical. it’s fantastic #it’ll make you laugh and it’ll make you cry. could not recommend enough. #okay edit over. back to my og tags #long post #and I'm talking LONG like do you love the color of the sky long #today I am a nuisance to your dash #but it's in the name of art and beauty #ordinary days #musicals #paintings #art museum #post i made #i love lyrics #greatest hits

Just had a Thought and now I'm curious. What's you guy's strangest comfort media? It doesn't have to be strange as in like creepy/fucked up/whatever, it can just be smthn a lil odd.

#Mine is a drum corps show from 2015 LMAO #Carolina Crown's “Inferno” to be exact lol #this was during my peak Band Kid years and also the height of my Divine Comedy fixaction so this just scratched SUCH a good itch #i would literally just watch this like 13 min long marching band show over and over #and try to figure out what parts of the music represented what parts of the poem #thank god i had other band friends i could just word vomit about this too at the time lol #every few months or so i'll fall back into it and reanalyze it a lil weirdo too lol #anyway 10/10 show would recommend if you like band stuff n dante LMAO

i need poem recommendations!! currently looking for a verrry specific type of poem to use in a cross-literary analysis so if anyone knows any poems that are about how everyone dies (& the arbitrary titles we assign to ourselves in our lives do not matter that much) but that does not mean there is not still point in the world or in living

having a normal one with poems again.

#my art #my comic #undescribed #if you want to create a language i 100% recommend you try translating a few poems in it and see what kind of fuckery you can come up with #to imply even more things ect. making up grammatical rules and all is so fun. con is you have to explain a lot of things for others #to understand your incoherent ramblings

ranting about poetry and whatever but it annoys me so much when people disregard poetry and it's value because it was taught to them poorly in high school. poems are much more than just random words thrown in a blender and pushed onto paper in some weird way just for you to mindlessly write about it to hand in for a grade. every single aspect of a single poem holds meaning. the time it was written, the format, the diction and syntax, the title, literally all of it. just because you weren't taught how to properly analyze poems doesn't mean that they have no meaning, it means that you don't have the skills to analyze them. and some teachers make it especially hard to form those skills. but the lack of skill really doesn't need to be carried with you long after your graduation. you can read whatever poems you want from whatever era you want. romantic poems, epics, haikus, contemporary, the world is literally your oyster. you're much older and smarter than you were when you graduated. there's no reason to hold the same opinions you had while in high school about a topic much broader than you realize.

anyway let the soft animal of your body love what it loves shall I compare thee to a summer's day I walked to the fertile crescent and built the sphinx the poem ends soft as it began- I loved my friend or whatever. blah blah blah
