Wdym untitled

[vivid nebula]

Like it literally doesn’t have a title 😭 “Narcissus” is just to help distinguish it from others that will be in this series and other untitled poems posted in the server

[heady kettle]

I know what untitled means

Im saying why did you post it if it doesn’t have a title

[vivid nebula]

Is that a requirement? 💀

[heady kettle]

Yes

[true island]

I love the second stanza of this, but the whole poem really captures the beauty of the painting of Narcissus looking at his own reflection. I cant really quote a specific section or line that I like the most, its just all perfect.

really well done Erica

[vivid nebula]

Thank you SO much, that is so kind 🥺❤️

[true island]

I dont mean to shamelessly plug but would you like to look at one of my recent writings :>

[vivid nebula]

Yes!

This feels both classical & contemporary. You used myth not as allegory but as inquiry which is quite a fresh take on the subject. 👌🏻

Thank you dear ☺️
