#thats rhythm and poetry

i love flash edits especially when it's literally just typing the flash out on a new document over and over again to feel the rhythm of all it together and each time you change or add single words at a time because each time you type it out there's one new sentence that now feels off and it feels like an infected wound spreading all over the piece 😍

✒️ please!!
Send me a ✒️ and I'll pick a poem I think you'd like
After flipping through my notebooks I decided to go with my first instinct for you, which was "A Toast to the Alchemists" by Laura Gilpin. This poem hasn't been published online officially, so they're aren't a ton of sites that have it that I could find with a quick Google search. However I've attatched photos of a reddit post with it along with my version in my journal.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I picked this poem because of its themes of time and the passage of time, as well as magic and giving emotional significance to the most mundane and clinical of things (atoms and elements). In other words, taking magic from the world around us, especially through a lens usually seen as lacking wonder or whimsy. Also vibes, I mainly did it based on vibes.
Some other poems I considered in my search/additional recommendations are listed under the cut:
If you liked the writing of this poem, and haven't read it already (or have) I definitely recommend "The Two-Headed Calf" by Laura Gilpin. It's by the same author and is her most famous poem and is fairly well known and also soooooo good. So good.
Poems with similar themes:
Poems with similar themes to "A Toast to the Alchemists" are
"Dusting" by Marilyn Nelson 💘 (literally cried to this. To be fair it was 10 minutes after I finished the HDM finale so it was mainly because of that but still. Great poem.)
"The Sciences Sing a Lullabye" by Albert Goldbarth
"Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley (90% sure you've read this one its the time theme but inverted and it's great if you haven't)
Rejected picks/Poems that gave me Anu vibes (many for no particular reason):
Poems by Ted Kooser for some reason??? NO idea why they're very different from the ones above but some of my faves are "Selecting a Reader", "In a Country Cemetery in Iowa", "The Constellation Orion" and "Flying by Night" (I'm v much questioning this pick now but I'll keep it up here just in case)
Honestly a bunch of random unrelated stuff was popping out at me ("Listen" by Miller Williams, "Cartoon Physics, Part 1" by Nick Flynn, "Snow" by David Berman) and like a million billion more which I all got from the same anthology (Poetry 180, edited by Billy Collins) so if you want to read a bunch more poetry, based on vibes alone, I'd say look for the book, the website, or the sequel. The poems from that book aren't too similar to the one above but it's really one of two books I generally recommend people right off the bat (it was my lit teachers favorite lol) because it's meant to get young adults and teens into poetry and introduce contemporary poetry in general. Idk how much poetry you've read whatever but even if you aren't new to it it's still a good compilation of late 90s/early 00s poetry that makes you think but isn't super long/totally incomprehensible
Anyways that got WAY longer than I anticipated or anyone probably wanted but poetry is an obsession of mine and recommending poetry is much more complicated and harder that it looks, even for the people you know best in the whole world AFTER interviewing their opinions on poetry, not to mention how difficult it would be for internet friends on tumblr. But anyways there's a couple poems, I got the vibes as close as I could with the poems I had on file. (Although i do feel like I'm missing something big 🤔) Anyways thanks for the ask Anu! Hope you thought my pick was alright!
#and please for the love of god dont feel pressured to read ANYTHING on here i spend hours and hours reading poems so when i rattle off names#like that its very much me bouncing along like a frog eating skittles hopping from poem to poem to poem#based on vague vibes and feelings#also also also i already knew this when i made this ask game BUT. recommending poetry is like trying to juggle with your eyes closed because#you just KNOW you just KNOW there is a group of perfect fall in love poems out there but theres a million factors you have to take into#account to find them. like theres theme theres rhyme theres rhythm theres style theres readability/directness#and you have to try and predict someones opinions on all of that while also trying to gauge their level of patience on topics like#age of poem clarity use of standard language and spelling experimental features and line breaks#when a use of any of those they dont like can turn them off a poem entirely#like we were asoue fans together so youd probably like something with ambiguity and could tolerate a more classical look#BUT then comes in the length factor and also a bit clarity plus we have to remember theme and i cant think of any poems that fit that idea#with a theme you would like that i would feel comfortable recommending (because some poems are good but also difficult)#and i LOVE difficult poems theyre my besties but i always hate them during the first 3 reads at least and who has time for that if you dont#have poetry brain disease like i do#anyways. thats a very long way of saying. i tricked you into asking me to ramble abt poetry mwahahahahahahaha#also if anyone out there feels like theyre someone who rambles a lot about their interests to others and can at times feel a little guilty#abt that the poem “To The Sea” by Anis Mojgani talks a bit about that from an outsider pov#blah#poetry tag#answered#jacobsnicket

I'm fed up of you, I'm fed up of this
I'm fed up of putting together pieces that'll never fit
So get back on your high horse and stop running away
I've told you the truth - what more can I say?
Just piss off, like you said you would
It's all I've wanted to say, but didn't think that I could
If you think you know a better route
Then take it, just take it, why does it matter to you?

TG: all the really odd women and gay men on here seem to have access to an alternate version of family guy thats really low-res and every episode is about various characters putting on minxy outfits
TT: I love the prose and verbage of this post. The first line is almost iambic, gives it rhythm. Word choices like "really odd women" and "seems to have access to" frames the speaker as an outside observer, and establishes a tone of playful curiosity.
TT: The lack of punctuation says casual, but the overall flow hints at poetry. We get a fun little half-serious observation about Family Guy, and then the author caps it off with a word like "minxy." What a choice. Delightfully anachronistic, yet nails of the particular air of disheveled blasé glamour evoked by these screenshots.
EB: rose, i love you, i defend and support you, you are my friend forever and you made a turkish dish for me while i was high. but i think i understand why people want to kill you. it’s the jock response. everything you’re saying here is authentic and sincere but that makes me uncomfortable and i am going to shove you in a locker overnight. i hope that’s okay with you.
TT: I know my role as the comically arrogant twink heel, and wear it with pride befitting an artist of my station. Still friends, darling?
EB: no. i was gonna say yes but then you had to pull out the. italics. you talk like a michelin star restaurant reviewer and a warhammer redditor had a child and left it in the woods to be raised by people who say “oh my gods!!”
TG: this websites hate mail game is fucking insane

AUGUST 26
Harmony had grown tired to the nightly lectures and studies, a routine she accepted and eventually learned to appreciate. Despite its constraints, she found solace in the fact that she only had to attend two classes every other day.
This mixed feeling stemmed from the late timing of her classes, which often left her exhausted yet fulfilled by the knowledge gained. Overall, while her schedule was demanding and tiring,
Harmony found a sense of balance and purpose in the steady rhythm it provided.
Monday:
Fashion & design 7pm (1hr)
Visual branding 9pm (1hr & 30min)
Wednesday:
Study session 6:30pm (2hrs)
Visual art 8pm (1hr)
Thursday:
Fashion & design 7pm (1hr)
Creative writing 8pm (1hr & 30min)
Fashion was undeniably her passion, an art form that ignited her creativity and drive like no other, though art in general held a special place in her heart.
However, it was fashion that truly captured her soul and fueled her aspirations. As she strolled purposefully toward the library, her thoughts were consumed by the impending project deadline, just a few weeks away but already weighing heavily on her mind.
Upon crossing the library's threshold, her eyes were immediately drawn to a mysterious figure standing near the window, his imposing height casting a striking silhouette across the rows of books lining the shelves.
It was Gof, a renowned lover of poetry known for his way with words, a presence that both intrigued and captivated her in that moment.
As she entered the library, her gaze caught on a figure standing by the window, his tall frame casting a long shadow against the bookshelves.
This figure was Gof, a poetry enthusiast recognized for his way with words. Though they had crossed paths several times, they shared not only the same creative writing class but also an intriguing dynamic.
Gof was known for his reserved nature, often choosing the comfort of close friends over frivolous small talk. He had an air of mystery surrounding him, akin to the archetype of the enigmatic 'skater boy' on campus, a persona that piqued the curiosity of many, especially the girls who found his allure irresistible.
"Hey, girl," a voice chirped, interrupting Harmony's contemplation as she settled into the seat across from her in the library. It was Gabee, a student whose reputation often preceded her, earning her the label of the campus 'whore' in whispered gossip. Harmony, disheartened by the perpetuation of such high school-like titles, greeted Gabee with a polite but distant "Hi."
"So, I've noticed you're close to Gof. Could you do me a favor and share his number?" Gabee inquired, her request lacking subtlety. Harmony hesitated momentarily, ready to decline until an idea sparked in her mind, causing a mischievous smirk to form on her lips.
"Yeah sure give me your phone"
Gabee squealed as she gave her phone. Harmony smirked got bigger as she put in her ex's number. "I hope you guys last forever" harmony gave her back her phone and the now clueless girl skipped away.
"Why are you here" She heard she looked up and saw gof. She gently grabbed his arm and pulled him down in the seat next to her. "Gabee asked for your number"
"Ew i hope you didnt give it to her" gof says with a disgusted face. "I didnt i gave her my ex's" harmony smiled. "Thats... thats clever" gof admitted. Gof doesnt have to many girl friends. Considering all the girls he ever talked to was the same. But not harmony. She's different to him.
He doesn't know how they became friends. They just instantly clicked. "So why are you here" gof asks again making harmony look at him confused. "Ummm we have class" She says in a Duhhh tone.
Gof scoffed and then laughed getting up. "You really need to check your emails more often" he says then leaving. Harmony quickly pulled her phone out and checked her emails. She soon saw a email from her professor saying class was canceled for the night. Harmony quickly got up and caught up with gof. "Waittt!!!"
"Aint no way you walked this far ahead already" she says catching her breath. "I did, you'll understand when you grow" gof says earning a playful slap to the arm as he laughs. "Wait why were you here then"
"I left my charger, luckily it was still here" harmony nodded as they walked out the library. They walked together as Harmony followed behind. It looked like harmony was his puppy or little child.
"Why are you following me?" Gof asks as they reach his car. "Huh? Oh shit um i dont know actually" she says as she realized she was following him.
"Its only 8:25 wanna go catch a movie?" Gof asks. "WHATTT!! IS THE GOF ASKING ME HARMONY TO A MOVIE" harmony says loudly.
"Oh my gosh why are you like this, shut your mouth"
"Omg i can't believe this should i say yes or yeah or be humble and be like 'sure"
"I cant with you, You know what never mind"
"Wait no! Im sorry, im sorry but wanna just have a movie night at mines?" Harmony calms down and ask earning a shrug from gof.
"Alrighty ill meet you at my place" she says heading to her car. Gof shakes his head with a smile getting into his car.

It's already 8pm, and the frustration continues to grow for sunwoo as sleep eludes him once again. The persistent disturbance comes from his roommate, who has, for the second time now, brought home another guy to fuck, their walls was thick yet his room was right beside hers?
He can't help but feel as though this noise is intentional, meant to unsettle him deliberately. Exhausted and fed up with the situation, sunwoo finds himself questioning why his roommate and her companion can't choose a different location for their nighttime activities.
After all, he had already expressed his desire for a peaceful sleeping environment after the first incident, hoping that she would respect his need for rest as a fellow resident of the same living space.
Sunwoo can't lay in bed and listen to this bullshit any more, mostly because he could start feel himself getting hard by her moans. Oh how he wished it was him instead of that guy.
Sunwoo threw the covers off angrily and walk down the hallway, banging on her door. "Can y'all please shut the fuck up!" The moans and groans coming from her room come to a halt and hes glad they got the message.
As he turn on his heels to head back to his room, a half dressed guy comes running out of her room and shoves past him, almost knocking him over.
He heads for the door before he can even see his face. Sunwoo turn to look at noze, covering the lower half of her body with his sheets as she has a tank top on, which made his situation worse seeing her peirced nipples through the top.
Her hair is messy and sweaty, which would look good on any other day but hes too mad at her to think of him in that way right now. "Oh shit, I didn't know you were home, I'm so sorry sunny" she apologizes.
She thought he were spending the night at his friend's house, like he usually does. "I'm going tomorrow night dumbass. Do you bring someone home every time I'm not here?" Hes ask, arms crossing.
"Maybe not every night," she responds, unable to look him in the eye. He scoff and head back to his room, finally able to get some sleep. He snuggle under the covers but feel his phone vibrate from a text.
Noze 🌸 [8:15pm] Are you mad at me?
Sunwoo 🚨 [ 8:15pm] yes
Noze 🌸 [8:16pm] You weren't home when I
got here, I swear I didn't know you came back:
Sunwoo 🚨 [8:17pm] ok i guess
Noze 🌸 [8:18pm] Sooo, there's a party my friend is throwing Saturday night, wanna go?
Sunwoo 🚨 [8:18pm].. yes
Noze 🌸 [8:18pm] <3

"Why do you have a notebook with my name on it" gof says as he looked around her room. "OH!
Come sit ill show you" she says pulling down to her bed with her. He opens the notebook and it says 'perks of having a hot bestie'.
"You didnt" he says looking at her. "I did okay so number 1. an abundance of freebies and discounts. So remember that time at the cafe where you flirted with the cashier and we got a free muffin? Welp i get 15% off everything there now just because she thinks im your girlfriend" harmony explains.
"You get 15%? Ha i get FREE" gof brags.
"Anyways number 2. hugs. Your hugs make me feel safe or calm especially in public. Plus i love the way other girls looked so pissed off"
"Your evil" gof laughs switching the page and it read 'DOWNSIDES' "Theres downsides?" He reads then reading the first bullet. "How am i a narcissistic asswhole" he asks.
"Because you always make fun of me for the smallest things and sometimes they ruin my whole mood" she responded. "Sorry i forgot your a sensitive lil bean" he says earning a glare from her. He quickly looked away and decided to close the book reading no more. "Your done? But theres more" harmony says.
"Yeah i know but i got bored" he says laying on her bed getting comfortable. Harmony scoffed and got up. "Whatever im gonna go change be right back" she says grabbing some clothes and going to her bathroom. When she came back gof was knocked out on her bed.
"Does my bed kill them or something" she mumbled getting into the bed with him. "Ew no go away" he groaned making her scoff. "Sir your in my bed" she says.
After a while they ended up falling asleep on the most weirdest position possible.

ive been thinking about poetry lately... wanting to dig my fingers into as many artforms as i can reach. your way with words is always so beautiful prim... do you have any tips or advice?
HI!!!!! Love poetry love to talk about it. my main piece of advice is to never use the obvious or familiar phrasing or metaphor. if you know what you want to say and then translate it through something unexpected you will instantly have a more layered and interesting poem. but that doesnt necessarily mean choosing the nichest or most intellectual word in place, you can transform words with poetic license to mean whatever you want them to mean and thats the greatest thing about it!!! i like to source words and phrases and metaphors from all over in one poem, like imagine theyre all coming from a certain location and play with the variety of locations you visit — you will find your chosen theme can be found in a lot of unexpected places, and again this really gives a poem more depth. also you dont have to be perfectionist about it at all but definitely pay attention to rhythm, rhyme, assonance, sound etc, bc anything can be lyrical if the sequence is musical enough. and my number one tip is to read a lot of poetry like a lot, from different authors of different nationalities in different eras like read everything. itll tune you towards what particular words you enjoy, what works and what works even better, what forms youd like to play with etc. enjoy the process and dont be afraid to get weird with it!!! hope this can help :3

2 + 3 + 12 + 33!!!!
had to fish around to find that ask game again!!!!! also hiiiii better late than never :))) :}}}}} <3 i need to tell u smth abt kleo i have Thoughts (not big thoughts this sounds as if its big it isnt i just reconsidered my initial statement that u might not like iiiiit)
2. anything that you'd like to write but feel that youre unable to??
oh yes!!! so much!!!!! even the things im writing bring me constantly into a situation of hair-tearing-out crying-clawing-screaming hitting-head-against-the-wall. i flip-flop between thinking i cant even write what im writing and thinking that im kinda decent. hhhhh. anyway!!!!!
i want to write a solid longfic with extensive worldbuilding. it doesnt matter the genre, just solid and rich worldbuilding where the writing stays consistent and steady until the end is already good. but if i could specifiy, i yearn for it to be a canon compliant/canon divergence/canon era fic with a unique take on canon. i want to write canon era fics in general, but im always hesitant to. i know what happens when i fall into a research hole, it fires up my anxiety. and i want to write scifi or a cool space opera. and i want to be able to write novel fic (of tyk) and not want to die during the process. all these things feel impossible to me :]]]]]]]]
3. how would u describe ur writing style?
i had to think about this for a bit!!!! because my writing style is unfortunately directly connected to my mental stability which is not always. stable. huehe. hmmmm i think my style (given that im doing good!) leans very hard into economical but evocative storytelling; like, i mean the rhythm of oral storytelling. stream of consciousness. prose poetry. poetry slam. i want the words to explode in your mouth and i want it to paint a very clear image in your head. i want people to hear me telling the story! even if the reader (or listener!) cant be there to experience it for themselves, at least i can tell them about it! thats probably because my first experience with story as a concept comes from audio dramas and generally someone reading something to me. thats honestly still the medium i prefer, tbh.
12. if you write in more than one language, whats the difference?
TvvvvvvT
currently i dont write in more than one language, if u dont count non-fictional handwriting bc i write all my notes in my native language. but i still remember how it used to be to write creatively in german. like im always whining about how difficult it is to cast the same image in english as in german; i just dont have that fine motor control over english as i have over german. i can easily switch between gears in german but english still ,, befuddles me pfft. its most noticable when im mucking around drafting and spend more time thinking about fun stuff like correct grammar and correct sentence structure and which word means what in english, than about the story and the characters. it takes so much energy and effort to think about and of all of this, there is barely any space left for the story that im trying to tell. which is def a major drawback for me and one of the reasons that ive been considering to start writing in german again. even though i have uh some baggage there that i dont really want to face. language is so connected to identity and culture. and thats another reason why english is difficult; i know english, aside from school, mostly from usamerican books or from online interactions with usamericans or people talking usamerican. so that has ofc heavily influenced my own english. like, i set all my stories in germany for reasons, but its stupidly hard to draw up the cultural markers because the language itself that im using is already coming with cultural influences from another country. its really strange and confusing, and i would find it fascinating and interesting if it wasnt so frustrating. sometimes it feels like there is a veil between me and what im trying to say, and also as if my thought patterns dont work as they would because the language that should just be a tool to tell a story is already so dominant. thats def smth i hope to change in the future
33. give your writing a compliment!
hmmm. its very earnest. reading my own stuff, even old stuff, i can tell what sort of struggles made it hard to get smth specific onto the page. and sometimes what ends up on the page is not what was supposed to be there in the first place. but its earnest and i can see that. its always the best i can do in that moment, and its always a piece of me because i give so much of myself during the process. thats not always a good thing but its how i am. im glad the earnestness, the sincerity, the love, the faith, the hope, is so visible to the bare eye.
yet another writing ask

i cannot believe ive never listened to remote control by wonderful opportunity fully before. it slaps so hard im listening to it an irresponsible volume. everybody in the house is asleep at 11pm but i have my headphone i just cant dance. ive had poetry ideas dancing in my head for days i feel like thats a bad sign of my mental health lol. well poetry kinda? the definition of poetry always pisses me off bc i dont call my short paragraphs poetry. i put things in lines and call it poetry. i lack rhythm, but the last time i tried to write poetry with meter i was severely sleep deprived and had to count the beats a million times over. hopefully ill do some more writing tonight i have one million wips. i told someone id get my fic idea to them in seven business days, its been seven months. i can never do anything in a timely fashion unless held at gunpoint. weeeeee

I ship you with ... KAZUHA
Tumblr media
Honestly this was really hard- because I feel like a lot of charceters would love you! Ultimately I decided Kazuha and you would be so cute together
Lets get the big obvious thing out of the way- you both love theater arts . I think he'd love this side of you- especially since music is such a big part of who he is. I think he's more of an introvert than an extrovert- which may cause some problems- but overall i think he needs someone to help him get out there. I think you'd balance each other out and create this perfect harmony within the relationship. You two would probably be the couple that just bring sin stray cats left and right- and I love that tbh. I don't think it would take long for him to understand what you like and don't like, so he could make sure you are comfortable with him. He'd never tell you what to do, because both of you are very similar there. Overall, I think you'd have a nice rhythm in your relationship.
Tumblr media
HEAD CANNONS
I think your relationship would be sweet and comfortable.
Kuzuha would want to get comfortable before a relationship, even though he'd definitely fall for you right away. He just has some trust issues. I think it'd be a strangers to friends to lovers type beat. With some hard core mutual pinning
I think he'd be the one to confess to you. It would be a spur of the moment confession. He'd take you out somewhere pretty, and accidentally let it slip without thinking- but he would just smile after and admit he meant what he said while blushing and holding your hand-- he's just so sweet.
there would be a lot of sweet poetry written for you. he'd make it up on the spot, or spend nights thinking of the perfect words, sometimes he's even write a tune just for you.
he loves how you organize things. he thinks it's really sweet.
He'll sleep on the floor with you, and offer his arm as a pillow. if he thinks you're getting too cold, he'll pull you close to warm you up.
kuzuha would play music for you to help you focus. and he'd love it so much
his dates are sweet. picnics with your favorite food, taking you out to a performance, and dancing under the stars. he loves cheesy things
he'd want to take you with him in the ship. he'd ask you on a whim to travel the world with him, and promise to take care of you
i think he'd ask you to dance on the ship a lot- like taht scene from Anastasia where they dance on the boat- he thinks it's so fun
he'll go on outings with you, even though he prefers not being around others, he'd do it just to spend time with you
i think he'd lay in bed with you when you have those days. in fact, i think he loves those days the best. he'd make sure you were warm, and bring food to you so you don't have to get up.
he'll gather stuff thats purple for you like it's his life mission.
he calls you handsome every opportunity he gets
he'll tell you everyday how much he loves you

You almost always throw in aome imagery thats just like OMG Wow
Adding this one you sent too!
You get a potential second one: Anyway writing trademark: your use of language! Like it is always so beautiful and poetic.
Thank you! ❤️ I write a lot of poetry (which I hold much closer to my chest than my fics because it's so vulnerable and they never feel done because poetry is always like evolving and I don't really want to post those bloody, tender, or raw pieces of my heart on the internet) and I do use a lot of the same techniques in my fics: lots of imagery, a cadence/sense of rhythm, and very specific words that feel incredibly important (generally a compact handful of them that contain layers and this density). I only started doing so consciously (in my fics) very recently though! I love getting really figurative with the language (as well as slipping in puns from time to time? some of them are incredibly subtle though--people generally don't point them out to me).
I'd definitely cite Sylvia Plath, Margaret Atwood, and Sally Rooney as influences because their descriptions and use of imagery absolutely floor me, as well as the way they manage to say things without doing so directly or by folding so much meaning into a few simple phrases!
("A gray sky bellied over us, fat with snow" IS FROM PLATH'S THE BELL JAR AND IT'S ONE OF MANY DESCRIPTIONS I WILL NEVER BE OVER IT'S SO GOOD)

ok i have to be a hater for a moment. if u assume im pretending this is any more than personal opinion thats ur problem.
why does it seem to be the current popular thing to write poetry that doesnt rhyme. when i was younger that was like a "did you know poetry doesnt have to rhyme" and it was a niche thing but here here on tumblr everyone is doing it. and whats worse nobody has ever heard of rhythm or metrum before. people just string random sentences together and like that's fine but i need you to know that just because it's meaningful to you that doesn't mean it's good. and no, clunkily using big words just makes the problem worse. i like poetry and i want to like poetry but yall make it pretty damn hard. someone said that you will only like 1% of poetry but that 1% will hit like nothing else and i think thats true and i think my 1% cannot be found on tumblr but i also don't know where else to look for it and i'm mad that people apparently churn out seemingly identical vent-in-verse-form. yeah ok ive written something like that too about being aromantic but it wasnt trying to be poetry i just had to use a meme format from the time to express something. if thats poetry then im a hypocrite i guess but at least i didnt write it in a way that makes me gag or my eyes slide off it. ok im done being a hater im a whiner now. pls i just wanna find poetry that i like.
