Modern poetry often doesn’t seem like poetry to me. If you take away the structure and write it down into a normal one-paragraph text, it takes nothing away from the poem. The author could have said it in prose better than in poetry, even. And I know that poetry is a very subjective art, with its edges blurred, with many styles and ways to express oneself. You have haikus and different kinds of rhyming poetry and blank verse. But I’ve seen many poems, and blank verse isn’t the same as putting prose in poetry format.

To me, poetry is allegory. Poetry is symbolism. Poetry is metaphor. Poetry is the ‘wine-dark sea’. You read Whitman or Margaret Atwood or Richard Siken or Mary Oliver or Anna Akhmatova, and you know that if the structure is taken away, you are left with something nearly nonsensical. You think that you’re reading, when in reality you’re looking at a painting and listening to a symphony and watching geese fly to the south.

You read Nikita Gill and think ‘yes, I agree. I agree but I don’t feel anything. You could’ve written for journals, and your talent wouldn’t have gone to waste’.

Not to upset any Nikita Gill fans but i am tired of calling something that only looks like poetry to me poetry.

#poetry #poems #modern poetry #Margaret Atwood #anna akhmatova #richard siken #walt whitman #mary oliver #contemporary poetry #also as someone raised on Russian poetry #which almost always rhymes and is always filled with metaphors and allegories and symbols #it’s hard to find things that would live up to this sort of artistry #russian poetry

shepherd saying, “war isn’t about friends, it’s about enemies” when friendship is the main reason the 141 find all the missiles and take down hassan just scratches a lovely itch

laswell is able to find out hassan’s in mexico and working with the cartel bc of her friendship with price and gaz, who are already in amsterdam. they’re able to get the jump on him and find out about him shipping the missiles over the atlantic bc of her friendship with alejandro. price and gaz are able to fly to al mazrah in time to intercept aq bc of price’s friendship with nik and they’re able to get laswell back bc of their friendship with farah. soap makes it through las almas and eventually kills hassan in chicago bc he successfully befriended ghost, who stayed behind at his own risk and kept giving him advice he wasn’t required to give

the real treasure was literally the friendships they made along the way

#i didnt expect friendship to be such a core theme in call of duty of all things yet here we are #and its even a personal character arc for ghost #he goes from literally being alone in the games intro to having a team named after him #a team that he trusts with his face #from being so obviously unhappy at having to work with soap to opening up and letting himself get closer to him #and even to a lesser extent alejandro and graves #just to be betrayed by graves #his utter panic at seeing soap injured after being so annoyed by him in al mazrah just hits so hard #and going back to his old behaviour and leaving soap behind just to feel guilty and stay to help him get out is just 🤌🏻#letting soap lead him through the cameras is an olive branch and apology all in one #just him going i trust you to get me through this alive just like you trusted me #like i shouldve trusted you in las almas #just dozens of tiny moments that all boil down to friendship and trust and shepherd only seeing enemies completely blinds him #and ultimately leads to his downfall #‘we dont bury each other do we’ thats the throughline of the entire campaign #even graves not trusting his shadows enough to tell them theyre transporting missiles #maybe if they knew that theydve been more cautious and not been caught off guard by the russians #and hassan never wouldve gotten his hands on them #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #call of duty #cod mw2 #simon ghost riley #ghost cod #ghost mw2 #soap mactavish #soap mw2 #soapghost #general shepherd #kate laswell #we’re a team. ghost team

After years of Greek, Roman and Byzantine histories, both in Podcast and Books, I took a step forward in time to Mike Duncan’s Revolutions podcast.

After 6 months of listening to the English, American, French, Spanish ReConquista of South America, Haitian and Mexican Revolutions, I have popped out bleary eyed and squinting into the 20th century’s 1920s.

I still have the Russian Revolution to go (and a few odd Cold War books) but I find myself missing the Ancient World.
