Wow...so this is the power of poetry

[Anonymous No.13037692]

not only she's a bad "poet", but also factually retarded.
cutting off the ears won't do shit to hearing.
> SHE WAS AN OVERWEIGHT SLAM POET
> BUT HE HAD HIS EARDRUMS PIERCED
> THANKS TO GOD

I wanna to defend her, but damn, that's really bad

lactose was oozing from her milkers

I don't like her pseudopoems, but bro, have some nice arguments. In poems not everything means the same (literal): ears can be read as hearing in this case.
She's bad as a poet tho

Would it not be like hearing notes from a clarinet with no reed?

[Anonymous No.13037739]

>>13037721
A reed is like a tongue. not comparable at all. the ears are like a funnel.

It feels like half of the Rupi poetry I've seen posted is just
>she was [good thing]
>but he couldn't appreciate it

[Anonymous No.13037751]

>>13037683
Not only is this bad poetry but it's just gross and disturbing.

[Anonymous No.13037753]

>>13037707
but its unnecessarily unrealistic. It wouldn't have taken away from the poem to have writing something like "but he had his ears covered" instead

Butterfly saved my number
On a fine spring day
No faults or blunders
The bluffs worked out okay

I knew she would save it
And prove she is no tart
Now we wait for a bit
For her to do her part

>argument from authority
Yeah I don't have to be able to write like Joyce to tell you that Rupi isn't good. Admittedly, that poem isn't awful, but she pumps out enough worthless garbage that it doesn't really matter if she produces one or two decent poems. Monkey writing Shakespeare and whatnot.

[Anonymous No.13037924]

>>13037751
You're fucking retarded. Poets choose vocabulary deliberately. "Cut off" connotes violence and/or separation.

[Anonymous No.13038521]

>>13037683
Reminder that if Rupi Kaur were a straight white male, she would have been laughed out of her poetry 101 course.

The only reason leftists pretend to like her is because of muh diversity.

[Anonymous No.13038527]

This one is gross

Which is sad, because Christopher Hitchens had much more interesting things to say on India/Pakistan relationships and it's cause//effect in traditional gender roles.

Vocabulary is the entire body of words within a language, or more loosely understood as the entire body of words available to a person. The word you're looking for is "word".

[Anonymous No.13038580]

>>13037924
Maybe too deliberately on the part of Ms. Kaur. Anything that does not proceed directly from emotion is useless to the poet.

I hope that's fake, because that's terrible writing. Worse than the poetry. But it also explains how she can be such a cynical, cold-hearted bitch.

why is she well-liked?

She does dramatic projectile menstrual art to promote her books. You might have seen a YT video of her "birthing" balloons filled with paint, where Rupi straddles a white canvas atop two step ladders

[Anonymous No.13039236]

>>13039172
Because people like being told what they want to hear, and shallow feminism is popular right now.

[Anonymous No.13039251]

>>13037683
I can't believe any of you are defending this pseud. She displays minimal command of language. Her shit is boring and says absolutely nothing of significance, just fucking templated drivel about men not appreciating her. She's hot sure, but I'd use her too. Damn strumpet is not deserving of even a sliver of respect.

[Anonymous No.13039293]

>>13037750
rupi is a very bad poet but also has an amazing ear for what her audience wants. she's not a good artist at all but she is a savant-tier product designer which i think is a way more interesting conversation than "wow she sure is bad isn't she" as if anyone with any kind of literary sensibilities hasn't noticed yet

The point is that having ears cut off is more visceral and a stronger image. Also, “ha had his” would imply that he is the cause of it. So it creates a dynamic where one side is beautiful, elegant, and easy to appreciate while the other side is self-destructive, obstinate, and hurtful of his own volition.
It’s not good poetry, but you must barely have a functioning brain stem if your major complaint is that cutting off ears doesn’t literally impede hearing. That’s why it’s called *figurative* speech.

Nope he’s looking for “diction”, but he would probably have to restructure the sentence then.
