poetry

I dislike the mortifying ordeal of not being known. And so I write poetry and so I write blog posts :3

These aren't dated but should be ordered most recent towards the top, as I add them.

i miss you - I really enjoyed the writing in this one. spoilers: notice how italics almost never first-persons themself (only instance is their first comment), the blurred dichotomy(?) between thought and speech, because at the surface level this poem is about someone remembering someone else who died after eg listening to this song. I wrote this after listening to a banger youtube mix, owen's talk to a star is really good, and the blue mentioned in the poem is from cavetown's meteor showers. Overall, the internal rhyme and other crazy lyrical fun shape is something i seem to like, either from soft stuff like cavetown and midwest emo like front bottoms and everyone's worried about owen.

The death of the author
I joined a student poetry class at school! More poetry to probably come, then. Here's one I wrote about feelings on the death of the author: sometimes it's bad (but other times it's like the woah! two cakes! meme, and good).
