I hope he is not making any sort of money from this.

I think this guy is kind of a weirdo. I think he needs to establish the fact of where the hell he actually is coming from with this whole showing not telling, thing.

WRONG !!!

God Bless you!

Wow. I love this. You’ve introduced me to cliches I have been using, not understanding some alternatives and all the while had great delivery and made me laugh. New sub🎉

I have to ask due to not understand English correctly...is it self esteem or self steem?

This is pretty mediocre advice. Kids, there are no rules. Find your electricity and put it on the page. Ignore this guy/

No cus imagine how embarrassing it would be for your poem to be the first thing in a chapter titled “bad poetry” 😭

Perhaps instead of labeling the language "archaic" or disparaging it because it was learned from the poetry of "dead white guys" you could simply point out that people always wrote in their own language. Shakespeare didn't write poetry in Greek or using runes though he read ancient literature. We are closer to Shakespeare than he was to Homer. Encourage people that they can imitate the best parts of what they read to grow, but can fill it with their own voice instead of down playing the work of dead people because of their skin.

“You should be writing like everyone else today” I don’t want to be like them, I want to be tomorrow.

Thank you sooooooooo much

Ooooorrrrr just put more weight on the tire and flip with both hands

Those are Hindu pushups

I actually disagree with some of this. I think the problem with most poets today is that there vocabularies is limited if you can use modern English and also understand/utilize archaic English, your poetry is going to turn out much better than somebody who is strictly adhering to modern English and unadorned free verse. Poetry needs to evolve. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it needs to shrink.

Poetry = Rhyme

I hate poem B. Because it doesn't rhyme. When a poem doesn't rhyme, it doesn't mean a new style of writing it just means writing sentences because you're too lazy to do the hard work.

bro you're the fucking goat i love u thank you

If Johnny Depp can throw a bunch of crap together and call it an “exhibit” , then please leave poetry alone.

tysm

While I learned some useful things from this lesson, I have to raise some questions. Why good and bad? On first thought, I get it, we like to say "This poem's good," and "that poem's bad," but we often miss something by doing so. If we compared the "good" poem and the "bad" poem on an equal level, without deeming one good and the other bad, what could we find about them and how poetry works? What are the poems doing differently, what are they aiming at? The first poem, I would say, was trying to be performative. The voice of the poem, the one telling it to us, pretends to miss the object of the poem, the lost love. The voice writhes around like a wounded animal, but the shallowness of the text betrays the shallowness of the emotion on display. It makes me personally feel as if the voice was a controlling type of person, manipulating the audience and the topic to come to him, so it doesn't have to come to us. The second poem was trying to be electric, at least that's the first impression. There's a clear overarching feeling, metaphor, theme going on, and it feels like touching electricity. The nerves, the snappiness of the text, it's almost whip-like. It's also written short and to the point. One thing to say. If we consider the affair angle, an affair is also after one thing and that's it. We can better see what each poem is doing when we take them both seriously and don't "grade" them as better or worse.

Powerful brother 🙏🏽🦾

This total idiocity, poetry is art and like art when restricted to certain stupid structure like these looses it's essence hence my advice to all poets out there is to boycott such stupid advices and spread

Hm, I always had the impression that poetry should be something that rips through your heart, streching you across the night sky. Like stars of your being, sprinkled on the canvas of life.

I love this guy's energy. He is so full of life.

Something tells me that I wouldn't like the same poetry you do. That's okay.

Wish Drake could see this... but unfortunately it's not on Instagram

I always studied while pacing, for hours! 😂 My mother was always confused "why don't you sit down at your desk?" Because then I can't THINK as fast! The faster I pace, the faster the brain juice churns 😅

I fucking love the energy

I wish you taught at my University, they don't know how lucky they are to have you as a Professor

Love this guy

I’ve been doing this all my life with so many words is it a form of dyslexia?

Reading the first poem was a drag, but maybe that's the point. If the author wants the reader to feel the same sense of discomfort (for lack of a better word) that he feels as a result of their breakup, then they've achieved their goal in my case. But, it's possible that simply the author really doesn't know how to write. So perhaps a better way of writing the poem would've been to start the first half with his memories of their former love, beautifully written, with perfect language, and then to derail into clunkiness. That way, it would've been obvious that the clunkiness isn't due to a lack of skill, but is intentional. What do you think?

What lies... My community college professors assigned more homework and gave useless lectures than the university counterparts #GDILies

I dropped out of community college about a year ago after being on multiple semesters of academic probation. It followed this pattern I've noticed in my life where I struggle to turn basic things on time and manage that, but then crash out whenever something actually challenging occurs. In algebra it was logarithms, in my english classes it would be a report or essay that required any kind of planning or citation, etc. If it was something I already basically knew like discussion forums or basic programming I could crap out a decent or even great result. These problems also seem to haunt me in my work and personal life. I dunno, after watching dozens of high school and college teachers over the years like me as a person and enjoy my presence then get kind of bewildered at my sudden drop in capacity, it wears on you. I'm starting therapy soon and I'm not giving up. If nothing else, I've learned indulging the sense of helplessness only makes things worse, not better. I'd definitely consider going back, but right now I have no confidence in my capacity to succeed as a student. I found some of Mark Fischer's writings in Capitalist Realism to be relevant. He coined a term called "hedonic depression" to describe some of the behavior he observed in his students, where it wasn't that they couldn't do anything, but they couldn't do anything that wasn't immediately gratifying. I resonated with that a lot. He thought it was a product of our modern society combined with how technology works. I also think in general a lot of people are kind of hopeless given the state of the world. I personally have decided not to let any of that get me down but it's certainly brutal. I know friends who, unlike me, totally did the work and got their bachelors, then got burned by the job market. My friend has had his CS bachelors for over a year now and hasn't gotten a job despite a year of applying *and* having his intern company break their promise to rehire him. And that *was* supposed to be a "responsible" degree. My personal plan is to chunk through a few IT certifications and try that, but even then I'm weary of all the people flooding that market who were burned by software engineering. All the risk is offloaded from employers to students and job seekers. Just my thoughts lol.

Its subjective, so most if art criticism is bs

Using herpes as a comparison is not cool

4:35 meme potential

The mom got cake tho💀

Litterary criticism shouldn't be this ugly.

1.Dont use archiac language 2-Dont have an inconsistent rhyming scheme 3-Dont use bad metaphors 4-Dont use cliches 5-use imagery

objectively

I like “sing-songy” poetry and archaic language when it’s done right. The uncomfortable thing is when someone writes you bad poetry and you have to pretend it’s good. 😅

First poem is terrible. The second poem is also terrible. The difference is that the second guy should know better.

I study engineering at UCSC. I'm in my third and final year, and I've just been shocked by the apathy and general disregard for learning that I've encountered. Out of high school, I was expecting a community of students and professors dedicated to learning; I was really excited! But, oh my god, almost nobody cares -- professors included. The attitude seems to be: "I need to pass this class to get this degree," and the motivation for the degree is invariably: "I want a job," "I don't know," "I don't know what else I would be doing with my life," "my parents want me to get it," or something similar. It's hard to be intellectually involved when the classes aren't structured in a way where critical thought and collaboration are encouraged. The grades we get are almost exclusively evaluations of our work ethic, and they are crazy inflated. Classes and labs tend towards busy work when they are led by TAs with no time and indifferent professors. For assignments originally designed to make us think, the background theory is not clearly explained and the answers are laid out for us. I've never felt stuck, I've never felt like, "Oh if I don't change something I will probably fail this course," because I know that passing isn't dependent on my complete understanding of this subject, passing the course just depends on how much time I spend completing trivial assignments. I believe that most universities are now economic institutions. Universities act as a mediator between employers and employees. Employers look for employees who adhere to some common working philosophies(operating on a dead line, communicating clearly, etc). The university hands out certifications of working competence to potential employees(students) in exchange for the potential employee's $$$ and effort. I think this is the main function of universities, but they also engage in peripheral economic activities like the research programs which are supported by an army of indentured servants(graduate students). It's funny how the average years of schooling for a population is seen as a metric of economic development, but the financial outcomes for a college graduate has been steadily deteriorating just as steadily as this number has risen. Naturally, there are exceptions. There are great classes, students, and professors; maybe even great universities. I wish I could refine my thoughts here -- and include more of them -- but I have a midterm, lab, and two homework assignments that I need to work on, as well as my daily reading, exercise, and personal projects.

Yep, let's fatigue your resting arm so you can't do enough full ROM reps that are worth the most 💀

Man you’re looking great for you’re age, like the only sign of age is grey hair but that looks good as well

Bro Thank You For The Knowledge Time To Get My Body Together ✊🏿

Do you have instagram? I would love an educated analysis of my poem.
