- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sometimes you just need to read something comforting, something that doesn’t make you think too hard or makes you scratch your head. Sometimes the best words are the ones you’d say to yourself if you could conjure them.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5one of my faveeeee really loved it, hoping for more publishes poems tho.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Poetry? Sure, if you like the general stuff you hear at a coffee shop open mic that make you cringe if you studied poetry at some point. More like mostly unoriginal tweets or comments. Some good ones occasionally, but mostly generic and cliché and by that I mean anybody could write majority of these poems, I'd say about 5-10 percent gems, 90 percent generic and weak, also for some reason pegged as erotic, not as far as I could tell but I only read a dozen or so tweoms. One thing that is original is the poetic form. Or at least relatively new. The tweet poem. If I'd written "There is too much risk in loving," the young boy said/ No/ Said the old man, there is too much risk in not, " in my poetry class my professor would have said, "what is this an observation, the first line of a poem expressing a sentiment you can find on the back of hallmark card? What pop song did you steal this pithy brilliance from? Who hasnt said this in some shape or form at some point in the last 100 years or since the advent of our modern concept of love? Walmart poetry does sell well though, so if money is your main thing, you could jump on the bandwagon and ride this trend to the bank.

Love Her Wild - Atticus
There is nothing quite
so pure in love
as a boy
and a girl
building castles
in the clouds.
As he took her hand
he gave her
all she had been
waiting for—
a shiver
down her spine.
When it comes to love
we are primates breaking sticks
while pointing to our hearts.
Love
is diving headfirst
into someone else’s confusion
and finding
that it all makes sense.
I’ll let you into my heart
but wipe your feet at the door.
I think it’s beautiful
the way you sparkle
when you talk about
the things you love.
We let our lives
mix with our dreams
like two colored paints
until we didn’t know
which was what
and we didn’t care.
I want to be with someone
who dreams of doing everything in life,
and nothing
on a rainy Sunday afternoon.
MY
ATOMS
LOVE
YOUR
ATOMS,
IT’S
CHEMISTRY.
The beautiful thing
about young love
is the truth
in our hearts that it will last forever.
There’s too much risk in loving,
the young boy said.
No,
said the old
