Poems for sale

I walked to the canteen

and the bananas were

green.



Life. 



HAHAHAHA cheem or not. Lai lai selling poems for the upcoming christmas/new year/valentine's day. One poem $5*, includes a thorough dissection and analysis so you can impress whomever you're trying to impress. If you buy 3 poems I'll give it to you for $12, ok? If you die die want big words in the analysis you can purchase it at an extra 50c/word. 

Y'know what I'll provide a sample analysis for the poem above:

The poem, in general, espouses the vanity and futility of life. It finds expression in the mundane matters of everyday life; in the case, buying a banana (ok sorry I really don't know how to make buying a banana sound eloquent. Can change fruit if you think bananas remind you too much of dick). This banality not only makes the sequence of actions relatable, but also serves to remind how futility can be found even in the smallest of matters, exposing the persona's bleak outlook. The line breaks function to accentuate the disappointment of the persona as it builds suspense through the pauses, only to tear down the climax at the end with the acknowledgement that life is often undertaken in vain. Although uttered as a despondent sigh by the persona, the conspicuous lack of any italics in the last word also emphasises the loss of resilience, signalling a complete resignation. As such, the loss of belief and motivation can be seen as an indication of a nihilistic mindset, which does not offer any redemption or ideals even by the end of the poem. 


Wtf so many words for only $5, very worth it right?? Lelong lelong~~~
