i do not regret us.
but i wish our story could have been written differently.
i wish we could have a new climax,
a new dénouement.
but if these things were to change,
would we even be ourselves?
would the “us” of today
cease to exist?
would everything we were,
never have existed,
if it hadn’t come to this?
oh, the butterfly effect.
time is a fickle thing,
and i wish not to anger her.
but love, oh, he is more fragile than sand in a storm,
and more gentle than velvet.
it is a shame,
that these two should ever meet.

i was letting off some steam and as i reread the paragraph i realized it was a few line breaks away from a poem
so this happened
curious to hear thoughts
never ACCIDENTALLY written a poem before

loud ingot
LOL yes i am
a lot of people assume otherwise though keke
but im glad you liked it
this one was kinda funky cause i didn’t even really realize the nature of it until i reread
cause it was originally formatted as a small paragraph
tired osprey
Well since it is an "accidental" poem, I was not looking forward to much, but yeah it is good.
It is kinda like a monologue letter to self. I love that "he is more fragile than the sand in a storm. But also I am like, is that correct?
It is honestly a "feel" poem.
loud ingot
i suppose that line in particular
having to analyze my own thoughts now LOL
but it kind of goes two ways
“fragile” and easy to scatter, yet also incredibly difficult to properly destroy
even if it breaks apart and splits, it’ll never really be gone
you can break glass, but a grain of sand is another matter entirely
loud ingot
in the moment i wasn’t really thinking about that detail when i was writing i was just trying to get things off my chest
but revisiting my thoughts that’s the conclusion i’ve settled on
poetry is one part hobby and one part self reflection for me

well hello there haiku
loud ingot
both have their appeals
in truth i dabble in both but my writing is more novelistic than anything
as opposed to my poetry which speaks for itself i think
tired osprey
Lol, i know. Just that the age of 14 is very common in the server.
tired osprey
though i prefer not to disclose personal information online
Gut, sehr gut.
loud ingot
oh strange
i seem to always run into the 18+ folk LOL
then again that’s normal for me
even irl
tired osprey
Is that not like.... Obvious? 😅
loud ingot
hm?
tired osprey
I mean, ofc.
loud ingot
im just being incredibly slow i think LOL is what obvious?
tired osprey
Running into adult people? Lol
loud ingot
i mean it is but i just mean that’s why i haven’t really noticed the younger half of the server
or younger majority as you put it
tired osprey
Hm.... Is it night there where you are?
loud ingot
7pm
tired osprey
Eh? Indo?
tired osprey
My bad. For a sec I thought you are Indonesian.
tired osprey
I thought Japanese lol
loud ingot
that might be a first
tired osprey
Ikari.
tired osprey
LOL yeah fair enough
Cause ikari means like anger in Japanese.
loud ingot
i had to delve the internet to figure out where i actually originally had the idea
ikaris is an alternate spelling to icarus or ikarus(another alternative) but i blipped the s to make it more gender neutral
tired osprey
Ikari also means anchor.
loud ingot
talk about contradicting
tired osprey
Lol yeah, high up and low down
loud ingot
somehow fitting though LOL
tired osprey
Impeccable name 👍

i rly like the idea that this poem conveys. i relate to it a lot so it made me a little emotional. wishing things turned out differently but wondering what would become of the selves of now is a lot. you captured it well

forgot that’s where we were whoops LOL
tired osprey
I know right

personifying time and love as well was a nice touch

I actually love this, it almost sounds like a love story that will never happen between time and love, both of which were personified beautifully 
Accidentally writing poetry means ur def on the next level, keep growing 🪴 :D
I especially love the lines "oh, the butterly effect. time is a fickle thing."
We always talk about wanting to change stuff, but fail to realize how many things we love would also change (and not necessarily for the better) if we actually did go back and rewrite the specific parts we wish we could.

i love this. it's like an inner monologue with yourself where you realize that you'd rather stick with the known reality of today than face the uncertainty of tomorrow -
like if we were written differently, would i finally love the ending of it then?

i adore this poem sm 😭
the bittersweet sense of longing and reflection-
this poem beautifully captures the idea of wishing things had turned out differently, while also acknowledging that those very experiences shaped who you are today. the contemplation of the butterfly effect adds depth, showing an awareness of how every moment is interconnected.
the contrast between time and love, with time being fickle and love being fragile yet gentle, is poignant. i really feel this poem on a deeper level. great work!!!!

I've been there! You're like halfway thru a normal and and u suddenly feel possessed to write a poem about some random topic and it turns out to be halfway decent 
This was more than halfway decent tho, this was amazing U-U

This is beautifully crafted! I love how the interpersonal aspect of the poet softly collides with the personification of love and time who's story has various changes.
It's like a love story between love and time, time is that angry partner with a touch to explode, where as love is that soft hearted partner who carries such sensitive sensations within. It's like a commentary on their relationship dynamics. Great work, Ikari!
