Honestly? Your poem is way beyond me. I don't get it, although I feel that that is part of the point. I'm not sure how to take the misspellings though. Some of them seem to reference, while others are apparantly just there. In my opinion, you should only misspell in a poem if it serves a purpose and adds to it. All in all it is just a bit too much for me.

As for how to read my poem backwards I will leave at the reader's discretion. Having the reader interact with it rather than just read it adds a lot to it, no?

W-was it really that obvious that it was my first poem? But thanks for the feedback, I really wasn't expecting anything so positive. And I do get what you mean, I'll keep it in mind for future works. Thanks~

What?

>>5561184
I'm doing it as a way to deal with some severe social anxiety. A few years back I wasn't even able to post anonymously here.

Reworked it a bit. Not perfect, but a lot better.

Endless lagoon on smooth marble
Thick mist under cold sun
Aged tree
Dying

Movement disturbs stillness
Broken tranquility
Life begets
Life

>>5561148
Yeah. Thanks for the advice. Gonna see if I can make it work.

Endless lagoon on lukewarm marble.
Thick mist under a cold sun
Lone tree
Dying

Movement disturbs the stillness
Broken tranquility
Life begets
Life

I know that it's severely lacking, but I don't know what to add without breaking it.

Untrue. The earliest philosophy does indeed stems from primitive thought.
But analytic philosophy stems from mathematics and language.

Tell me again, what philosophers have you read? Or was it just the wikipedia article on philosophy?

I think his point was that the original doesn't work either. By putting it in a more ridiculous context the original, too, becomes ridiculous.

does a child think about what nietzche thinks? or hegel?

lol the original doesnt work

try again

Nox. I know he isn't /lit/, but still.

The obvious answer would be that you go to a nearby school/university/whatever-place-of-education-have-you and ask someone educated on the subject. Alternatively, test your luck at the local library.

Spooks are a spook.

4chan is the place where good ideas and clever thoughts go to become memes.

I'd love that. But I won't be able to read it until tomorrow seeing as it is getting pretty late here. So I'll just save the link and start reading tomorrow.

Best of luck to you with the publishing.

Can it not also be viewed as the sum of all things? Much like 0 can be considered the sum of all numbers positive and negative. The absence of a thing also speaks of its existence, no?

To make things clear, I have no standpoint in this. I am merely inquiring out of curiosity.

>>5554110
That is a pretty good name.

Are you also the OP? Are you going to publish your novel when it's done? And if yes, what is it going to be called? I think I'd like to read it.

>>5554205
But observation has shown that the opposite is true, no?

A better questions would be: What is Nothing? That might give some insight as to why something can come from it.

What I want to know is where the idea that "Something can't come from Nothing" comes from?

I am awful with titles. But I think it would be fitting if you gave it whatever title you think the MC would've given it.

But Anon, something can come from nothing.

I really enjoyed that story. Thanks, Anon.

Bumping this one last time before I let it die. I'm honestly a bit surprised that no-one here has read any Grimwood.

I personally do it as a first step in overcoming some pretty awful social anxiety. I honestly don't ,eam to stir shit up, I just post as I'd regularly post. Having a trip does seem to upset some people though...

Others probably do it either for attention or because they feel a need to differentiate themselves from the masses for one or another reason.
