Everyone wants to write poetry, but nobody wants to read it. The best part of poetry, is understanding what someone else had said, but everyone lives in a vortex and is like a solipsist, so there's no interest in that anymore. It's a shame really, because the education wasn't bestowed upon readers to want to, or even know how to, seek out and understand something. They all want to be heard but nobody wants to listen. I think you're right that the biggest reason is it's like work. But, people can enjoy it if they get a chance to really dive deep into someone else's thoughts.

I love people explaining their own poems like this

i could listen to you read poetry for hours

Absolutely gorgeous lyrics 😰😍 I’m in awe and so moved, your creativity and thoughtfulness is so unique and I am truly so touched. Writers live forever❤️❤️

Du hast riesengroßes Talent. "Fifteen ways to stay alive" ist der Hammer. Große Klasse. :)

I read "(a) kiss above Cupid's bow," I imagine a cheeky, awkward kiss on or above the top lip because the Cupid's bow is a word for the dip in the middle of the top lip so it's a double meaning.

A few years ago, I became first interested in poetry when studying to be a translator, there was a special subject about Literary Translation and I really fell in love with the rhymes and allegories in each of those poems. Hence, recently, I took the courage to start writing my own just out of pleasure! I loved your advice! Thank you. 💘

this is like one if the best videos you ever posted !! thanks val

I’m incredibly inspired by your prompts. I’m making notes and found myself writing dozens of ideas under each prompt! Thank you very much! I love your poems I like gritty body imagery I can’t wait to start to writing!

Danke für dieses Video, Valentina❣️Ich habe ein Gedicht, an dem ich schon länger arbeite, aber mit dem ich total unzufrieden bin. Ich wollte es schon verwerfen, aber jetzt habe ich wieder Motivation und auch Ideen, es nochmal zu versuchen 🖤

amazing video

In meiner alten Schule waren überall Bilder von Künstlern wie Van Gogh an die Wände gemalt. Im Deutsch LK sollten wir uns mal ein Bild aussuchen und dazu was schreiben. Ich habe mir damals „Die Caféterrasse am Abend“ ausgesucht und ich muss sagen, dass ich dieses Gedicht immer noch irgendwie nice finde obwohl ich eigentlich absolut nicht gut da drin bin Gedichte zu schreiben…

Du hast dich so sehr entwickelt, Valentina ❤ Danke für dieses Video! Du bist unglaublich talentiert!

The Mosaic Law and Code of Hammurabi are the two most significant legal codes to embody the multinucleated manure of sovereign continuity - as per Eastern legal systems of the time in conjunction with amateur classicism and the normative function of rationalistic, positivist, codified reductionism.

thank you val

I'm a comedian from Vienna and came across your channel via a strange path and have now watched your last two videos. I like your content, it's very atypical and for that reason alone it's very refreshing. A remarkably pretty woman who thinks about how to write poetry or books. It's almost a poem in itself.

What is the music in the background called?

a complete fantasist

Ever since my English teacher (master in literature) recommended me to read “The House on Mango Street,” I could not untangle from the thought that I want/need to do poetry. Thank you for this! 🫂❤️

So cute❤❤❤

My first attempt. Lives that never touch Only stolen glances Lonely stare from afar How many second chances. Suicidal dreams Lie with me in the nest Silver shadows whisper around With your soft brown hair on your breast. A warm rush of summer, Dancing through the showers A blazing ring of fire, She has amazing powers. Any comments or criticism welcome 😁

It has promise. you seem to be in the process of mixing it all up in your had still...just grasping at multi-images, of which some work and others are just dragged through archaic language and tropes.

well that proves my point entirely. you say to start easy, just try a haiku? yeah...when you know nothing then you do think they are 'easy'

what the hell is metrah???...i suppose you really mean meter (meet-er)......cor-set...by that you must mean corset?

so you know nothing and are writing crap...great

such a pity, you are so enthusiastic, excitable, say mostly the right things about it all...but this is general advice to people who will never be poets. you are giving advice to make people into fakers

poetry can be whatever you want it to be???? utter bull

so..perhaps you didn't 'go into it' because you don't know what you are talking about ...yes?

Cringe

i'm bored with this now
