This is unironically the best poem I've ever read, and I have studied classical poetry for the last decade.

Can't argue with the form, or the content

>>17744269
Is this how people who are fans of modern art feel?

>>17744269
How old is Nael now? Like 16 or something? I wonder if he's a homeless alcoholic racked with despair from knowing he peaked at age 6.

>>17744269
HOLY SHIT this is so good, so powerful

>>17744981
I doubt he's a neurotic subhuman like you genuinely obsessed with "peaking" in his non existent literary career, it was a minor footnote of his childhood. He probably barely remembers or gives a fuck about it, too busy smashing pussy.

The tiger's cage,
poo,

Nael is just pure autistic phallic power that hasn't been repressed.
Stefany's is much better. She understands subtlety

>>17745169
>Mom, do you see me?
>Yes, but I don't want to.

BTW
Can anyone here help me?
I remember reading some (I think it was short SF story) novel about future where humanity and most animals were gone but some aliens come and revived some samples and one of them was tiger that run out into the jungle and the aliens send into it to catch/exterminate him gets panic attack.
>there is/can be tiger behind grass/in shadows
Anyone maybe know the title of it?

>>17745169
Eh it's fiiiiine but I prefer Nael's

>>17745169
>mom, do you see me?

Her mother hits her and when Stefany asks why the mother tells her she is a kid and doesn't know shit.

>>17744269
The three métamorphoses, a camel writing how the lion must break free to create new values, and in the exaltation they become a child once again. The yes is a sacred YES indeed.

>>17745232
Voilà, hierogramme

This is a perfect example of SOULLESS vs Nael's all powerful SOVL. This is a "subtle" poem that is actually not subtle at all, only a blind man could miss the themes, this little polish harlot is beating you over the head with (while pretending that it isn't) Nael's tiger, on the surface plain, blunt and powerful, displays itself like a virile erection, but has a depth to it, that allows it to be interpreted in dozens of different ways. Once again, the feminine under a disguise of gentleness tries to tyrannize, while the masculine, which appears rough and simple, becomes full of introspection and deep meaning.

>>17745033
Woah steady on there Nael, don't despair, you might still recapture the magic.

>>17745033
>t. Nael

Cringe and tryhard. There's nothing deep in Nael's poem. His parents castrate him (don't touch your wiener, don't play there, do this, don't say that etc.) and Neal fantasizes he's a virile tiger reclaiming his penis. The blandest shit ever. He probably watches Japanese cartoons and rages against the world when he grows up.
Stefany on the other hand is more traumatized but processes this through beautiful allegory and a heart breaking cry for love.
Stefany can't chimp out. She understands the ties of love&hate that bind us to others. A tragic heroine vs an autist that screams "I have a penis I need nobody"

>>17745735
Why are you so jealous of penis?

>>17744313
Same. Not even joking a little. It’s amazing

>>17745735
This post is complete delusion, incoherent rambling with a vile vaginal flavor. To deduce Nael's awe-inspiring message into something as base and domestic as what you say is exactly what a feminine brain, incapable of understanding higher concepts, or even the desire for MAN's undying desire for true freedom would stoop down to.
Your beloved Stefany is the courier of, as typical for a female message of neuroticism, passivity and ultimately - submission. It accepts defeat, it accepts tyranny and ultimately, her acceptance of it will brew inside and cause her to rot from within and she will continue the cycle of passive-aggressive matriarchal control, first by surrendering completely to her mother and her limitations, then by assimilating completely to societal and social norms (and finding any deviation from them as incomprehensible), ultimately infecting the mind of her own children with that poisonous fatalism she has inherited herself.

>>17744269
It's not a dab, it's a modern response. Without Blake, Nael would have had nothing to respond to. This is all part of the centuries long discussion that literature allows us to observe.

Is it possible that Nael was responding to Rilke's "Der Panther"?

>>17746926
Here Nathan mastefully shows the arbitrary nature of poetic structure with an reductio ad absurdum

>>17745125
you don't even get to see the tiger emerge by ripping apart the human flesh or at least some type of transformation. garbage

>>17746477
More cringe. We are all subjected to a degree of passivity and assimilation by design. The alternative is living like an animal or deranged person.
It's no wonder you glorify that type of pseudo-freedom. That's what severely repressed people do.

>>17747725
>We are all subjected to a degree of passivity and assimilation by design
I'm sure you'd like to believe that.

>>17747191
The numbers too are significant. Something is being counted, but what? We know we are missing so much but we are incapable of seeing it. Here, Nathan portrays the flow of time, so frustrating to humanity, and how art is our attempt at understanding it.

>two liter root beer

>>17747739
he also portrays humanity fear of artificial intelligence, showing a machine engaging in distinctly human endeavor, striving to something greater shown through the counting and even expressing itself using artistic expression, yet the seeming meaninglessness of the poem shows that while they can replicate the structure, they cannot equal men creativity and spirit
