Aisles of curious seek-fulfills
For erudition or fiction
Passion within ink and quill

For tangibles are the most bitter honesties
Conduits of truth and untruth
A vessel to flee and a door of ivies

Fingers unveil fresh odysseys
Leave your thoughts reigning
Stray afar our world of anomalies

what does tangibles mean here

arctic hornet
#

Tangibles are things that you can touch, and in this context, meaning reality. So basically I was saying that reality is bitter. Idk.. maybe i should use a different word?

Oops forgot to ping.. hope it's not too late

I never did a competition but unless the title has something to do with libraries or it’s very hard to put together for the audience but after knowing it has to do with books it makes the poem much more clear the one thing that’s off to me is I don’t understand why erudition is in this poem being it’s showing the quality of a scholarships knowledge before a word like fiction nonetheless as well as the use of tangibles this doesn’t help the poem to me besides that the poem has potential with the right tweaks luck 🍀

Thanks! So you suggest that I change the words "erudition" and "tangibles" right? Is the overall meaning okay though?

#

I also agree with removing erudition tbh.. it doesn't match with the rest of the poem

In the words of Rudy Kipling learn to think without making thoughts your aim

#

If you can find better words absolutely but if not recreate two new lines

Ah, nice advice. Thank you for your feedbacks

#

you gotta give it a title that makes the meaning of the poem obvious tho

#

like then the poem is really beautiful

#

otherwise there's not much context to bounce off
