I like artistic poets who make me ponder, but I really love a poet who delivers the goods in plain language most of all.

I was reading a police report about a person with concealed carry who had to kill a pit bull who was attacking a child the other day, and I was thinking that I live where I’ve never seen a gun that wasn’t on a cop or belonging to a hunter, and how bizarre it would be for me to need one.
Very good advice. His other poems are much more poetic at least.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•I know Reddit sucks but this one is funny.

I’m not sure it is a poem entirely either, but I like it. The others I posted are definitely poems.

30·2 days agoI don’t know, what’s a recipe without a popup video and six banners and a “jump to recipe” button that doesn’t work, as well as 99 pictures of spaghetti?
You’re most welcome! I’m always surprised at how many people do read them for little Lemmy.
It’s ok if it doesn’t work for you :).
Glad you like!
I think the point is the banality actually, I think the point is that we’ve heard that line for so long that it’s hard to make it seem real, but then we actually ARE on fire and we realize we’ve ignored that too and are picking between sandalwood and lavender.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If a doctor told you your unborn child has a 99% chance of severe downs syndrome, to the point where they would need constant care until the day they die. Do you think it's ethical to abort?

2·14 days agoAbortion is fine no matter what, but in particular for this case yes; Down’s syndrome isn’t the almond eyed happy somewhat simple child that Facebook memes make it out to be. They can have awful congenital heart disease, they have a much larger chance of getting leukemia, and they age seemingly twice as fast, a Down’s syndrome person in their forties is incredibly frail. They’re happy enough people and can often enjoy a good quality of life, there’s a guy who is a bartender in Buffalo at a Mexican restaurant who makes amazing drinks, for one, and there’s nothing wrong with having a child with Down’s if you want, but if you find out you are pregnant with a baby with Down’s you really should see medical genetics and have a fetal echo and maternal fetal medicine and ensure you make a decision that works for you. There are Down’s syndrome babies who never leave the hospital because of the comorbidities.

4·14 days agoThis is an old poem so I like how the meter works against the spicy language for the time.
They are kinda raggedy up close, you’re right. I’m glad you like it!

2·23 days agoNice! Thanks. It’s so bad, she really was organised and it all fell through.




Oh goodness that’s funny.
