like for a poem recommendation?

(I’ll @ you later after I read some chapbook backlogs, and the aus in my bookmarks :)) )

@harusikseu this got me into watching performance poetry. I hope you like it <3

“You made it
this whole way; through the nights
that swallowed you whole, the mornings
that arrived in pieces.” (S. Demulder)

@mashedpotahto I have two for you—one from Sarah Kay, and the other from me (just change the name to yours, they sound almost the same anyway hihi) <3

“He thinks that scuba divers must have
the most wonderful job in the world.
So much water to glide through”

@pilmajimak hi ma! Parang I don’t see you as often around? I hope everything’s well! <3

“We have so little of each other, now...
Only these brief moments of exchange.
What if they are the true dwelling of the holy”

@leaniaaa I have two for you—the first is one of my utmost favs, and the other is from me. Have you seen Cedie: Ang Munting Prinsipe? It’s the theme to that, haha. It’s abt how I learned guitar as a kid and why I’ll always be an emo kid lol. I hope you like them. <3

@mayblin_ Is it okay if I give you one of mine? I wrote this from way back our old fandom lol. Doesn’t it feel like forever ago? But anyway, just felt like you deserve a love poem today <3 mars, I’m really glad we kept in touch! https://twitter.com/ohpleasewae/status/1300994394871533584

@ssodayinda this is from my favest poet, Ada Limon. at times I feel like you’re the girl dressed as Wonder Woman to me—all strength and glory, indestructible <3 i hope you’re having a good weekend, mini me :)

@sirnatcrackerv hello! this might be a bit lengthy but if you sit with it, it has a lot of beautiful things in there. I hope you like it <3 ()

“the end isn’t always about what dies”
“once you know what it is to be lonely it is hard to unsee”

@ydwo_on this is Sarah Kay and it’s p popular but it still hits

“So forgive yourself for the decisions you've made.
The ones you still call mistakes when you tuck them in at night and know this:
Know you are the type of woman who is searching for a place to call yours.”

@notfinenotfine when I saw you liked my tweet this was the first poem that came to mind. Ada Limon is my most fav voice in contemporary poetry, I hope you like it

“made for a time that requires tenacity, a way of remaking the toughest self while everyone else is asleep”

@patzipat_ I just read this today and thought of you. First cus food haha, and also cus this is how I feel sitting in the middle of the mundane and the heartbreak of injustices :(( I hope I made sense, and I’m glad your tweets (on food, fandom, resistance—all of it) are around.

@pat_sungjin hi bb, i was worried for a bit san ka napunta cus nawala yung un mo sa likes :( glad you’re back! This one reminds me of the things we do (and do well) “to leave your loneliness panting behind you” <3 DM if you need anything? I hope everything’s well. <3

@wozpils hi ary! idk if you alr know this poem—it’s quite lengthy (and so is the title) but it’s so good and clever and what I thought of when I saw you in the likes. I’ll link a full copy but here are some of my fav parts, and I hope you like it https://4futurereference.wordpress.com/2019/05/05/on-this-the-100th-anniversary-of-the-sinking-of-the-titanic-we-reconsider-the-buoyancy-of-the-human-heart/
