AHH this is so cool & i love that you fucked around with two prompts at once !! awesome move :]
that last line hits hard, I love your version of it. I get the sense of an ember of hope burning through the desperation and exhaustion. Great work!
this is so awesome, i really liked it. it's so powerful and heavy and tender all at once!
thank you for sharing this with us, it's a very powerful and evocative poem - can't speak for the original piece but it's a great translation, I'm sure the former is just as biting!
@xalli @ryo thank you so much!! that means a lot to me! translating stuff is fun, especially when you get to play with it a little! :D
@caesthoffe thank you so much!! after writing, i was delighted to learn that nobody has ever translated this particular poem before i did (and if they did, it's not online) - j
this was so fun to read!!! i really like the formatting of this one, i think its so unique
this was so cute and cool!! we liked this a lot, you're so creative with all the different formats you use! - j and shades
July 8th is probably one of my favourite poems I've seen from you guys - so, so very powerful and I adore the direction in which you took the prompt. also love the format of march 25th!
thank you so much, ryo. that means a lot to me - i am very glad my words resonated with you. - shades
I love haikus! I really like how you interpreted the prompt, it's a very unique concept and you put it very well - I can almost hear a clock ticking faintly in the distance. really like it!
this is great, thank you so much for sharing. i like how it has a twist despite being so concise. it's powerful. - shades
thank you!! yes I always try to challenge myself to end a haiku with a new meaning/twist
ryo, this is beautiful and very potent. it gives me the impression of an ancient message carved into stone, lost to eternity and found millennia later. - shades
I like this, in a sense it feels like an ode to life itself in all its facets through the cyclicality of the oroborous. I think your passion for its imagery shines through very clearly!
this made me smile a lot as i read it. i like the ouroboros too and this poem felt so earnestly joyful and appreciative of the cyclicality of the cosmos!
loveeee your choice of language, feels very flowy and powerful at the same time :))
oh this is so gorgeous n i Def feel like it could make such a cool song !!
