"Black as midnight on a moonless night" flows better than "black as a moonless midnight" even though the latter has fewer words.
I think it's the semi-redundancy of [mid]night / night in the former that probably bothered both of you. But repetition is pretty common as a poetic device. The out of the ordinary intonation and rhythm of poetry has some connection with the driving of brain activity, like a less extreme version of the involuntary rhythmic brain activity associated with epileptic seizures.

People should just eat and drink what they like, unless it's utterly heinous (like that blue curry abomination). I find that I just can't seem to ever like black coffee, unless it's nitro cold brew.

Lately for me it's been a can of this nitro cold brew with hemp oil. You can't taste or sense the hemp oil. Tomorrow I'm going to try it with some hemp creamer. But even just the nitro cold brew really helps reduce the bitterness even without any milk/creamer.

You are on the right track, a more aesthetically pleasing phrase would actually include another adjective before night, to really evoke a detailed image
“Black as midnight on a moonless winter night”

[Anonymous No.12744393]

>>12744350
I think that sounds nice but also evoking a detailed image would work a bit against the point of his simile which was to describe how thoroughly dark and featureless his ideal coffee is. Winter brings up associations with both sugar and cream through the white of snow and the crystalline structure of snowflakes.
I think Lynch made the right choice. If there's one thing positive most people can agree with regarding Lynch it's that he's got a pretty decent knack for intuiting effective and compelling aesthetics, be they in the context of speech, visuals, or auditory atmosphere.

Using color as a descriptive poetical device is elementary school-tier 'poetry'. Most great poems don't rhyme anyway. All of Shakespeare's plays are considered dramatic poems, and though highly irregular, they rarely rhyme, excepting the end of most scenes/acts. Homer's Odyssey and Virgil's Aeneid are more ancient examples of poems that don't rhyme even once, either in their original Greek/Latin or in their direct English translation. Rhyming poetry in a way that isn't cheesy or contrived is extremely difficult, and the ones that rhyme every other line are for normies and soys

To you, maybe. To me it brings up the howling wind, being sick and cold and bitter at heart, which is darkness personified. Imagine that, people can interpret different things out of poems

I was in sales for a few years. In that time i drank a pot of coffee a day minimum. You niggers dont understand i chugged cup after cup after cup and then drank myself to sleep. Then one morning several weeks after i knocked up my fiance i had a panic attack. Im talking sweats blurred vision dizziness and the unshakeable notion that i was having a heart attack. For about an hour i fanned myself in my office trying to calm down. I went home sick and started drinking vodka until i calmed down. Now i can only drink light tea and only one cup a day or i experience heart palpitations that would stun a cardiologist. I'm probably going to die in my 30s. Point is you get your beans and grind them yourself. Dark roast is where the flavor is and light roast typically has more caffeine. If you want something stronger go with a longer grind. I loved all types of coffee. Hot, cold dark light whatever. Even steves fave spray dried instant. But the more you add to your coffee the more you detract from its bitter complex flavor. Every variety should be appreciated for what it is and not diluted with afterthoughts. But hey if you like your dunkin donuts macchiatos and your pumpkin spice lattes more power to you. Im not judging to each his own. Just dont expect any respect from real coffee drinkers. Decaf is for pussies.

Well that's clearly not what Dale wanted to communicate by using that simile, so I have no idea what you're getting at.

You don't need to live in a place with snow to have the winter / snow connection in your head. The idea is thoroughly entrenched in the collective unconscious. People born in the last 80 years or so living in Arizona grew up with the same TV, movies, advertisements, and pop culture people born in the same timeframe living in Alaska did.

All I was getting at was, first and foremost, we can have different interpretations of what 'winter' means, and that it will be different for each person. Yes, within the context of any poem winter can mean a number of things. But it is not out of the question that winter can mean 'dark' or 'black', etc to many people, in fact it meant that to three different people in the example used in this thread, to prove a point. And not to sound conceited or anything but winter is almost always used, in works for the adult mind, to invoke darkness, isolation, and despair (the beggining of Moby Dick as he arrives in New Bedford is a classic example) Second, I didn't know it was from a poem or part of some larger work, so to have anything that resembles an honest opinion or to try to critique it I'd have to read the whole thing. But at this point, I'm convinced you're autistic/a bit of a snob, and pretty egotistical, or just so in love with this author (literally who btw) that you are hell-bent on defending his every decision and expression to the last, so I don't even care anymore

It depends on how I'm feeling, and how the coffee is. I enjoy black coffee, straight espresso, double-doubles, unsweetened lattes, and vietnamese iced coffee equally... my pancreas, probably not so much.

Does anyone really know who David Lynch "is"?

[Anonymous No.12744830]

>>12744599
Twin Peaks, and really any of Lynch's work is... uncomfortable. The line is uncomfortable - 9 syllables, no symmetry, repetition of the word night - not only because it's irregular to the ear, but because of the almost pointlessly dreary/gothic visual.

The show is basically what would happen if Tim Burton went back in time and convinced Edgar Allan Poe to write a crime drama. A lot of Dave's work has that kind of warm quirkiness under a thin, snowy blanket of depression.

[Anonymous No.12744842]

>>12744830
Edgar Allen Poe already wrote the first detective story, so the analogy is unnecessary.

[Anonymous No.12744851]

>>12744842
Not really - the Tim Burton angle of it was fairly necessary to the tongue-in-cheek vibe of Twin Peaks. Poe was just born in the wrong time to shoot up a school properly, nevermind write for television... but I would bet if he ordered coffee, it would have been as black as midnight on a moonless night.
