My submission to The Tortured Poets Department is this beautiful poem I wrote for my friend. I have redacted his name to protect his bodacious identity.

Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me

#Yeah

Plate broke. :(

if you throw a plate at the wall and believe with certain certainty that the plate can never break and shatter it will bounce off the wall and land on the floor in perfect condition. it is impossible for the plate to break if you know for certain that it cannot. belief in the plate's fragility is what causes it to shatter. just believe and it cannot break or chip or shatter. go into your kitchen and try it now. go into your kitchen and try it now.

#Trust = Broken #Plate = Needs Replaced

Is there a place in the world that has as many caves as video games do because I have literally never seen a cave in person before

#Yes #Near mountains #I have seen many a cave

Everyone Hates Poetry 2024

Here are the finalists, please do not feel bad if you are not here. That doesn't mean your poem was bad or no one voted for it. This is an imperfect system. There were a lot of submissions and most people probably did not read all of the 90 poems. This was an experiment but most things like this have elements of being popularity contests based on things other than merit, like exposure, popularity of the author etc.

Please vote for your favorite poem. Please only vote once because previously we had people voting multiple times and this time I am going to have to disqualify poems where this happens.

Congratulations to all of you for producing some work and getting it read. People got something out of what you did whether you ended up winning or not. I've read some pretty terrible poems in the New Yorker, on occasion. It's good to remember tastes vary widely.
