Is rupi kaur the tao lin of poetry?

When writing was invented nobody should have told the women folk.

I've written more meaningful poems with poetry magnets...

somebody
once told
me
the world is going
to roll
me

rupi kaur has 1.3 million followers
you guys have the Veeky Forums critique thread hahaha
stop being jealous :)

i am a
talentless
hack
whose enter key
got stuck

what is love
baby don't hurt me
don't hurt me
no more

Now realize she sold over a million copies of this meme.

really
makes me think

Reading the comments to her poems on instagram makes me literally laugh out loud

>this is so inspiring ugggghh i love u
>wow, deep
>soooooo true :)

women were a mistake

They're not really any WORSE than your average "deep" thought/lyric, but what that says is kind of sad too.

women poets peaked with Emily Dickinson, this Rupi Kaur slag has no clue what she's doing

>rupi kaur is one year younger than you
>she already produced several masterpieces while you can't even finish a single poem

you can still hear with your ears cut off
really makes you think

what makes her so much better than you? the level difference? Is it like a professional MMA fighter vs a walmart sharter?

ask yourself why is she so much better than you, why are you unable to comprehend her genius

why did she sell a million copies before 25 and you cant finish a single sentence

she obviously just wrote a sentence with misplaced commas and thought "hey if I delete these commas and hit enter on my macbook a couple times I could be a poet!"

I tried so hard
and got
so far
but
in the end
it doesn't even
matter

Because she's a gifted independent WOMAN while you're just a stupid smelly male with that meat stick hanging between your legs.

Ahahah this is a very funny pepe. Can i save it?

I don't want to defend this woman's work at all but the way she formatted that sentence adds more meaning. "Fall" can stand on its own, it is more dubious than "Fall in", it arouses curiosity. Is it a physical fall, a mental fall? Nope, it's a fall "in love". Now is that the end of the sentence? No, there is more "with your solitude", another line that carries meaning on its own just like the two before it.

This actually reminds me of a Rammstein classic.

Du
Du has(s)t
Du has(s)t mich
Du hast mich gefragt
Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt

Sounds like something Rilke would say.

As an example this should be formatted like

I tried
so hard

but
in the end
it doesn't even matter

Is it normal to hate the vast majority of relationship poetry?

All is not lost; the unconquerable Will,
And study of revenge, immortal hate,
And courage never to submit or yield:
And what is else not to be overcome?
That Glory never shall his wrath or might [ 110 ]
Extort from me. To bow and sue for grace
With suppliant knee, and deifie his power,
Who from the terrour of this Arm so late
Doubted his Empire, that were low indeed,
That were an ignominy and shame beneath [ 115 ]
This downfall; since by Fate the strength of Gods
And this Empyreal substance cannot fail,
Since through experience of this great event
In Arms not worse, in foresight much advanc't,
We may with more successful hope resolve [ 120 ]
To wage by force or guile eternal Warr
Irreconcileable, to our grand Foe,
Who now triumphs, and in th' excess of joy
Sole reigning holds the Tyranny of Heav'n.

HOW CAN MILTON EVEN COMPARE? This girl is a genius, guys.

I actually don't mind this one, but it is mainly the spacing that makes it all right. I think it would be better if it was
fall/ in love / in solitude
For the repetition of "in" and the seeming contradiction of love without an object. "With your solitude" sounds pretty by the books to me.

TOMORROW ON BUZZFEED:

Veeky Forums have been discussing Rupi Kaur, and it's just too real!

and you faggots still expect people to take poetry seriously
L M A O

Coming
out
little
by little
my ass
it
burns

so is this a self-help book?

Is Rupi Kaur the new Mira Gonzalez?

i actually really love this

holy.... I want more.

i hate this repulsive trash-site with every fibre of my being and this is why

>How many pages of poetry are in this book?

>There are zero pages of poetry in this book. There are 208 pages of excerpts from someone's diary, with oddly placed line breaks, occasional doodles and chapters with theme names, so you'll know which emotions the author is trying to squeeze out of you

was goodreads right?

She's the Charles Bukowski of womemes except without the decades of alcoholism and postal work.

That one is actually okay

How autistic would it be for me to create an alternate ego for my writing based on Rupi where I write short stories about men trying to rape me? I have a friend who is a woman that I could takes photos up and put them on an Instagram lmao

i have eaten

Stop killing the trees, faggot.

Yes he should have said "You had your ears gauged out."

>gauged
gouged

Extremely autistic. Though you should make them about men """"raping"""" you by standing behind you in lines at stores and looking at you for 2 seconds if you really want to milk that kind of absurdity.

That's unfair towards Tao Lin

hitler did

who made the first slight

wait is that fucking real?

i just had a good laff because of the funny joke but now i think it might be a real one

Wouldn't "but you had plugged your ears" make more sense and be a bit more symbolic? How is this trash selling?

no the ears were cut off by the patriarchy. it is a circumcision reference

Wow it's worse than I thought

having gouged out my eyes i now appreciate rupi kaur's poetry on a much higher level

Tbh, getting about three small compliments from a critique thread once was a nice feeling. I appreciate it more than sending it to someone I know who'll overreact positively for politeness.

>these weren't even flattering compliments from Veeky Forums, two of them had an anime pic in their reply.

Reminder that in January some anons combined our autism and created a 86 pages book with rupikauresque poems.

worst
haiku
ever

I swear this dumb womyn is more obsessed with menstrual blood than anyone I've ever met.

I thought it was fake too, but then I saw this
goodreads.com/quotes/7713194-i-am-a-museum-full-of-art-but-you-had

It takes equal time and effort to write good or bad poetry, in my experience.

My favorite so far

I've got hand it to her. I wish I had had the idea to take clickbait and Facebook memes, put it in all lower case, add random line breaks, and present it as provocative art.

fewer tears,
fewer lies, more
