A community to celebrate published and OC works of poetry.
Guidelines & Community Rules
In addition to the general rules of lemmy.world:
Published Poetry
1a: Poetry posts should include the title and the author, when the author is known.
O.C. Poetry
2a: Sharing original poetry is encouraged, but it must be preceded by the tag "[OC]."
2b: If an [OC] post is requesting feedback, it should also follow with the "[FB]" tag. It would look like the following example:
[OC] [FB] Nothing Gold Can Stay
Feedback
All feedback should be given in good faith.
3a: All [FB] requests should be met with comments constructive in nature. It is okay to dislike parts of a poem, but make sure to explain why you feel that way.
3b: Feedback does not need to be extraordinary in nature. Simply expressing how a work makes you feel is often enough.
3c: Use the honor system. When you receive good feedback, return it in kind to another author. Everyone appreciates knowing their work is being read and appreciated.
As this community develops, these guidelines may be adjusted.
Formatting Help
Work in progress
To create a line break, use two spaces at the end of a line.
To create empty space, type .
Use four of these at the beginning of a line to create a standard indent.
UPDATE:
Some methods of access do not format markdown correctly. I am currently testing various apps and web interfaces to see what does and does not retain formatting.
In the interim, it is encouraged to post text poetry as you normally would, but to include a link at the beginning or end of the post with access to a website or image that retains the formatting as intended.
Other Poetry Communities
Poetry lovers unite! In the style of the fediverse, multiple poetry communities have arisen, and will continue to rise. I will try to keep a list here of communities across instances that are worth checking out!
I remember when I first sank
At the time I learned to drank
Rancor focused, I didn't think
An' that the reason I did sink
As naturally I was very upset
Wasn't my fault; fate's culprit
All was losts before first gun
Never had a chance to b sun
Whether I knew- or otherwise
Weather inside reason I cries
Obviously, my self was brokn
Of this I sure have so spoken
What else is 1 2 do as token?
All would be saved w/ a fren!
Look up Olney's Lesions.

They can result from heavily abusing DXM or PCP. Be careful, don't overly indulge.
PCP though is definitely not good. It destabilize the body's ability to regulate temperature and can cause more than just lesions. DXM is fairly harmless if you keep to the one week/plateau rate, take regular, longer breaks, and don't take shit you can get at the grocery store, because even if it has no other active ingredients, they put in other stuff they don't have to label nowadays.
No, those were only found in studies that used mice n rats, not primates, which metabolize the drug differently
