A community for discussion and sharing of poetry.

I'll populate this sidebar with more pizzazz, but for now let’s just get the lights on in here.

It would be dope as fuck if non-English submissions were accompanied by an English translation, though.
Poetry memes?
Original work welcome! Go ham, any day of the week.
Image submissions, i.e. photos & scans, are totally cool

[Meta] On posting my own poetry here (lemmy.zip)

Hi y'all, I know I'm posting a bunch of my own poems here with no additional text or commentary in the poems themselves, and also some are quite metaphorical or surreal. If there's a problem with any of it, or I'm spamming the community, please feel free to tell me a better place to put them, or remove my posts with warnings.

I intentionally don't provide commentary to avoid guiding your thoughts before you read them, if you want to hear my thoughts or explanations for anything, please don't hesitate to ask me in the comments here or the appropriate post :3

Wow, you've saturated my appetite!

That's the only downside to the 'infodump' approach, I guess?

Sorry :p

I like it, but spreading it out probably gives more engagement and doesn't oversaturate people's attention. Doing 1 a day would be best I think.

Either way keep up the good work! I always like people putting up OG content.
