Thank you! The imagery is what I was mainly going for!
Fantastic! Imagery is amazing, pretty clean meter I feel
I love your description and rhythm!
I almost feels like a train trudging along, or a boat moving onwards to the treasure it’s trying to find
love that imagery
Awww thanks you guys! It's based loosely off the main character from a Dungeons and Dragons oneshot I held haha 😅
sounds like a tale someone with a pegleg and a tentacle for an arm from undisclosed events would tell you
sounds like something that'd be found in a classic in a sea setting or something
"Yar har maties! Ya wanna hear how I got this here tentacle arm?"
*"Yar har maties! Ya
wanna hear how I got this
here tentacle arm?"*
oh yeah i see the inspiration
also I see parallels to captain ahab- am I wrong to see inspiration there?
To me, it’s giving me a feeling of someone searching desperately for a way to live their dreams out. It’s almost like they’re living their life and sailing on a boat that draws nearer and nearer to an end, even if the end is miserable or not as dream filled as the exploration
That was an original interpretation that I was going for, but I quickly ditched it later in the poem!
and from that typo it's clear I'm getting too dumb
I see. It almost shifted to an internal obsession at the end
That's fascinating! One of the final lines was gonna be something like "the real treasure was the journey we had" but I did go with something else later on!
like the narrator knows their treasure doesn't exist yet still wants to search for it
I see it still leaked through!
I love that!
Yeah!
Definitely!!
Similar to what I was also thinking!
sweet
"The real treasure was the orphanage we burned along the way."
- every d&d party ever
"those orphans were loaded man, can you blame us?"
Honestly.. very true - A Proud DM and player
XD
"potions aren't cheap"
oh yeah
Shall we move onto either beatnics or oats?
"and you don't want to know the medical bill for this pegleg"
XD
raise the sails
Who'll it be?
oats?
Woo!
Time to read!
Hoist the sails men!
