A community to celebrate published and OC works of poetry.
Welcome to !poetry
Guidelines & Community Rules
In addition to the general rules of lemmy.world:
Published Poetry
1a: Poetry posts should include the title and the author, when the author is known.
O.C. Poetry
2a: Sharing original poetry is encouraged, but it must be preceded by the tag "[OC]."
2b: If an [OC] post is requesting feedback, it should also follow with the "[FB]" tag. It would look like the following example:
[OC] [FB] Nothing Gold Can Stay
Feedback
All feedback should be given in good faith.
3a: All [FB] requests should be met with comments constructive in nature. It is okay to dislike parts of a poem, but make sure to explain why you feel that way.
3b: Feedback does not need to be extraordinary in nature. Simply expressing how a work makes you feel is often enough.
3c: Use the honor system. When you receive good feedback, return it in kind to another author. Everyone appreciates knowing their work is being read and appreciated.
As this community develops, these guidelines may be adjusted.
Formatting Help
Work in progress
To create a line break, use two spaces at the end of a line.
To create empty space, type .
Use four of these at the beginning of a line to create a standard indent.
UPDATE:
Some methods of access do not format markdown correctly. I am currently testing various apps and web interfaces to see what does and does not retain formatting.
In the interim, it is encouraged to post text poetry as you normally would, but to include a link at the beginning or end of the post with access to a website or image that retains the formatting as intended.
Other Poetry Communities
Poetry lovers unite! In the style of the fediverse, multiple poetry communities have arisen, and will continue to rise. I will try to keep a list here of communities across instances that are worth checking out!

I believe iddhi exist, but the path to understanding and manifesting iddhi in the present (there is no set objective reality, but the objective reality is manifested as the intelligent amalgamation of all subjective realities) is through the cognitive sciences, and the way forward for the layman to understand "telepathy" is to understand that we have a vestigial mode of attention coordination known as Joint Synchronized Attention, similar to what a school of fish or flock of birds experiences.
This is an article a friend, cognitive scientist, Canadian, and my handler in the CIA wrote years ago:

I had two, I have written a book about this, it was written entirely on meth, I faked schizophrenia to get outta ROTC by telling my cadre that my nonexistent sister got me pregnant, I used to masturbate in my window, what more do you want? Lolita totes got that age range right. What? What do you want? I want romance, personally. I already have a master AND HE DOESN'T BAIT OR MATE ME AT ALL BUT SOMEHOW THE POLICE WROTE THAT IN THEIR REPORT WHICH IS SOME WEIRD BULLSHIT this is dazzle camouflage bro. I are the most counterintelligent human bean. Bacon my ass. Always tells me more. Fucking aliens. You know about Pegasus II, right? I have nine balls in my ass. That's code. Fish. Mice. Potatoes. Only one of those is legal, and I am fishing in the fields for it, which is a dangerous statement given my...predisposition. No more? Thanks. Gooberpuntcunt
