I did not mean Wei-xiong, Klaudia-guniang, but I understand why you would make that association.

[sulit]

I both did and did not mean 👻!

[sanbuzhi]

Ah, so you mean 👻 as both 👻 and also normal 👻?

So accomplished already! Am I allowed to interpret it?

[sanbuzhi]

It was intended as an open question posed in order to allow for anyone who wishes to contribute, so if Wei-xiong would like to add his own ideas, who am I to refuse?

[raveyardpatriarch]

It just seems a little unfair if I'm so well-versed in this style already, but I guess I can try. Poetry isn't my best art, you know.

The title is like love, but pessimistic?

The first line is about loving thoughts fly...hmm. I like the bird but I think I'd like a different representation of flight better, or it's like two metaphors for how the thoughts are going, like a bird, like a boat. 🗡️ maybe? Or not. You need more neutral flying.

[sanbuzhi]

The title was meant to be romantic and pessimistic, so that's something.

🗡️ is not neutral flying. It could easily be thought of as fighting. Unless flying on a sword is common here? But I haven't seen anyone flying on a sword recently.

Other possible flying could be 🦋 or 🦅.

Have you often read about thoughts going like boats?

[raveyardpatriarch]

I see what you mean, it really depends on the intended audience! But ⚔️ is fighting, so 🗡️ gets to be neutral.

Maybe a wind or motion based option? For the flying? Though the bird is starting to grow on me.

I didn't have time, but it seems right, right? Thoughts like a boat if love is far away? How else are they going to get there?

i mean, that's obviously a love poem!!!

[ Minako can sniff those out from miles away - or so she likes to think, anyway. ]

i'm just not sure why that ghost is there at the end?? is the person who wrote it in love with a ghost??

i'm not judging!! just confused!!

[sanbuzhi]

Very true, it was meant as a love poem! What made you think so?

As for the last line with the ghost, it's meant to be asking two consecutive, opposing questions. Would you like to take a guess at what they might be?

[reloves]

well, there's all the hearts.. and signs of thinking about someone, and crying.. that sort of emotional stuff is what love is all about, right??

so that part was obvious to me! but those questions.. uh, i guess the first would have to do with asking the person you like to come over? it's the second question that confuses me though!! heart.. ghost.. question mark? it just reads to me as 'do you love ghosts?' but that makes no sense if it's a love poem!!

[ Unless there truly is ghost love involved here, somehow. Minako doesn't look down on other people's preferences! She is not here to yuck on anyone's yam! ]

[sanbuzhi]

That is certainly a question one could ask! I can see why that would be your interpretation.

The last two lines were more about whether their loved one is coming home or if they love only a ghost. That was my meaning, anyway. Art is ever up to interpretation.

[reloves]

loving only a ghost... how sad

[ Though Minako can see that sort of meaning in it, when he explains it that way. ]

though i guess love is like that sometimes too

just sad :(

but i prefer thinking more about happy love!!!

[tsumtsuki]

I think I would read the first two lines as "Love thinking about birds going to be happy and in love by a boat in the water." and "I (or maybe eyes?) cry when it rains on the fields." But I'm not really sure about the rest...

[ ... Tsumugi that might've been too literal of an interpretation. also his idea of poetry is forever screwed by Homare. thanks. ]

[sanbuzhi]

That is a very literal interpretation! It's very interesting. Are there any particular emotions or feelings that you get from it?

[tsumtsuki]

I get a sense of wonder from this, but it's also quite whimsical. It's certainly a fun challenge to try and communicate only through emojis.

[sanbuzhi]

Whimsical, yes! I was going for something whimsical or thoughtful.

A challenge? [hmm?????]Is communicating this way not common here?

[ Surprisingly, it's the voice of a preteen boy, without a doubt. But for someone so young, he's definitely made a deep and sad interpretation here, actually able to appreciate this "poem" personally... Not that he knows anything about poetry, that is, so really, this symbolic, illustrative introduction is probably right up his alley. His literacy isn't his strongest suit — but his creativity and emotionality are certainly much stronger, so this was perfect poetry for him. Alberto liked this post a lot, though he could never come up with any of this had he not been going off the provided template of ideas here — and he's most definitely projecting. But all the same, he enjoys taking a stab at it after careful consideration, like it's a riddle or something. Though some of his phrasing is certainly a bit... odd. ]

It's about missing someone you love and waiting for them to come back, wondering if you'll ever see them again... Like the memory of how much you loved them is haunting you. How they made you so happy you felt like you could fly and float, but then so sad when they left that you cried so much it was like the sky was leaking. Now you can't even sleep at night just thinking about them; even the sky seems empty without them, like all the lights in it have gone out...

[wow!!! If only Nie Huaisang could convey how impressed he is by voice! Unfortunately, he has only been taught how to text so far, so text it is.]

That is an incredibly emotional and truly moving interpretation!

Are you perhaps a poet yourself?

[prontissimo]

[ Alberto's feeling too lazy to type, and sticks to voice responses. ]

Ehhh, no.

[ You can practically hear him shrugging. And likewise, after a beat, you can also hear the smug smirk in his voice as his energy takes a sharp spike. ]

Did I get it right, though~?

[sanbuzhi]

[that'll get a moment of amusement out of Nie Huaisang]

In a sense, yes, you did get it right.

Huh. Is this some kind of poem that's lingo for "Let's watch Netflix and Chill?"

[sanbuzhi]

I'm afraid I don't know what either of those things are.
