Poppy's Preferences Pt3

Welcome back to Poppy's Preferences :)

If you're new here, let me introduce you to the purpose of this series.

Poppy's Preferences shares some recent stories published in the Poets community that I really enjoyed. Most of these don't have many reads but I usually can't help mention a couple that already have some reads/comments but deserve way more.

Please check out the poems and creators; both are linked.

Note: I recently found out one of the poems I shared in Part 1 was actually most likely written by AI with no credit. I've now removed it from the story and I guess I'll be checking for that now.

For more information on AI writing, check out Ashley Lima's How To Spot AI Poetry.

Unreciprocated Melodies by Anna

I'll never tire of poems about unrequited love, so naturally, I adore this poem. It's so relatable but provides an uplifting perspectful whilst also highlighting the pain involved. The rhyming makes for an effortless, relaxing read.

Looking Glass by Erin Barteski

This one is about a heavy topic but perfectly portrayed. It's a great example of how something tragic can make great art, specifically poetry. Definitely give it a read!

Wish by Bex Jordan

This poem is unique and thoughtful with a really great ending. An awesome read if you're looking for something relaxing.

Five and a Half Years by Dana Hartnett

The extreme emotions and hurt gush from every line of this poem as we follow the poet through the experiences and heartbreaks of a long-term toxic relationship. The whole thing is really a fist to the gut which demonstrates such talent. On top of that, there's really captivating rhyming.

Correspondence by R.I. Károly

I must admit, it was the picture that caught my attention, but the poem reaches the high standards it set. I'm in awe of people who can write gorgeous haiku like this.

Here is one that already has a few reads and comments but deserves heaps more.

Sorry by Sara Wilson

This is another heartfelt poem about a toxic relationship and domestic violence. It does an incredible job of portraying such an important heavy topic, highlighting the abuser's behavior and manipulations as well as the victim's thoughts and feelings. Amazingly written.
