Cooper, u ate with this, my god! i know your writing is gonna be good as hell in your upcoming articles.

This gives me nostalgia for some reason. Feels like something i read as a kid.

I like this. It feels deeply narrative yet strangely poetic, as though a story had merged with the rhythm of a poem.

the envelope slant rhymes have a little way of ebbing and flowing. how dearly i love when someone is artist enough to have their content shape the form of their work

cooper devine's avatar

thank you so much wow. iโ€™m really particular about my own poetic form and i like to be intentional because it can elevate the themes behind the words really well. i feel like the beauty of poetry is spewing my indiscernible thoughts and then arranging them in a way that flows well and feels satisfying thematically

mila's avatar

and you do it really well !! when the poetic voice thinks lyrically but allows and trusts the meaning enough to emerge through arrangement and rhythm itโ€™s like the poemโ€™s structure embodies the whole thing and just yeah becomes a craft instead of a narrative

cooper devine's avatar

literally so kind of you to do this close of a reading tysm ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
