@charlotte@trans.enby.town @chemelia@eldritch.cafe @Paradox@trollian.space i'm absconding with these lyrics
@chemelia (entire cafe snaps their fingers or sparkle hands and tips their hats n stuff) (idk what poetry approval looks like)
sometimes i like to try to write
with measures or with rhyme
but often i find that free verse on its own
does just
what i need
@chemelia
I feel intentionally called out.
@chemelia TIL csv is poetry 
@chemelia ok,but why does this work?
@hyperactiv
A lot of the 'magic' of poems comes from rhythm. And due to us reading many texts, our brains are wired to put. in, a—mental... pause! for
certain; punctuation.
If that annoyed you, it's working for you, too. 🙃
And yeah, rhythm is basically just a bunch of pauses with stuff in between, so one can ab-/use those punctuation pauses to force a rhythm onto you.

@chemelia I feel called out. |3
@chemelia very nice one :)
@chemelia poetry is when you add line
breaks until the lines
break you
@chemelia
omg
so poetry
very
very
thought
Sometimes poetry
can also be to just use
the right number of
syllables. So this is not poetry.
