It's better than what most of us on this board could write.

In other words, yes.

well, what do you think anon?

>>11997733
Yes
YES

>>11997733
i kinda really like it, the "yes., YES" always speaks to me as a spectator cheering on the tiger and inspires a sense of rebellion and freedom. honestly, its bretty gud

still refuse to believe that a child wrote this

While we are talking about anon poetry, who wrote pic related. I liked it.

Fuck you, you keep making me think of the William Blake poem The Tyger but it's always this shitty bait poem.

>>11997900
Made me think of Here There Be Tygers, by Stephen King

>>11997733
its everything poetry should be minus the pretentiousness

>>11997733
It’s a pretty effective little poem. I genuinely like it.

>>11997761
>my mom doesn't let me make anything else
lel

I feel like this is how the Bible was written but we missed this part. Moses and Jesus and whatnot were like OK lads we just do this and this, and then God takes care of the rest and voila miracles ?

And the rest of us are like OK but i just have this shitty heap of sugar and chocolate chips where are the cookies

Going against the tide here apparently but no, it's not a good poem and it gets constantly memed because most people are alright with mediocre humor/wholesome praise of children. Like I'm not against praising children but this meme had just gone too far. Honestly how is it funny. I should've ended this post long ago but like honestly how? How do people laugh at this? Or unironically think it's good? What complacent Reddit internet lives are you living? Do you just look at this on the way to class or work and just think to yourself, ha! This gave me a chuckle. Glad I saw this. Fucking kill yourselves my god

Jayden's Carrots are culinary kino, and no two ways about it.

>>11997792
I can't stop laughing at this carrot recipe

>>11998030
I don't think it's funny, I think it's genuinely good at creating an enthralling image and using the structure of the poem to instill emotion

>>11998030
it's unironically more powerful than everything you said in those 92 words.

>>11998030
It's not a joke, you've already missed the point.

>>11997733
It's brilliant. First line is just the subject, second a state of affairs in the past tense. Yes YES evokes a sense of emotional liberation from confinement, the brevity giving a sense of speed and motion. "The tiger is out" is spoken in the present-tense, the tiger is out NOW, contrasting the past-dense of "he destroyed his cage." Replace it with "the tiger got out" and it throws off the immediacy, the immersion into this sense of liberation. The poem is a rapid movement of freedom from the past into the present that practically jumps off the page.

Alright then, you're probably just bad at meming but on the off chance that you're serious, please return to your twentieth century poetry anthology then you 25 year old Boomer. Go read some William Carlos Williams and masturbate to the red wheelbarrow if you like this shit.

>>11998030
I don't understand all the hostile replies you got when the only reasonable response to you is: Write a better one. Demonstrate your point.

Demonstrations of children being inspiring or clever inherently speaks to us. Im not convinced if these where written by adults they would be as engaging or say as much.

Tynzlie's is not a recipe, it's about how his father captures wild turkeys and makes his family eat them raw for Thanksgiving. And I really wonder how Dalton came up with that Corn recipe.

What's the one with the little girl and a leaf blows back in her face after she talks to her mother?

>>11997792
Jayden's Carrots is the perfect critique of late capitalism.

Very cute but is anyone else disturbed by how these types of activities children are forced to do seem to be more about the amusement of parents and teachers than the education of children? Meanwhile these children are being programmed and reduced to machines while the old machines sadistically revel in how cute and innocent they are so they can vicariously experience what they have lost. Pretty disgusting imo.

I'm Anglo but where do they name their kids like this? This is absolutely meme tier.

Children are the masters of haiku.

>>11999692
>Very cute but
educators often include morale-boosting stuff like this to make kids enjoy their time at school. they also sneak in some other, actual educative material like what a recipe looks like, or imperative form, or whatever else they can. the kids take it at face value, but the adults involved in the scheme of universal education try to work on a deeper level
you're also right that the publishing of these things is partly/mostly for adults' entertainment though

also nice dub trips

>>11999692
It's not sadism, edgelord. It's for a holiday activity book that gets passed out during their Thanksgiving program where they invite the parents to hear their kids sing songs. These recipes don't take very long to get the kids to write and put in a workbook, and getting the kids to think in recipe format has educational value even if the recipes are silly and inaccurate. These seem like first graders or kindergartners. They're five or six. They can't be rushed through basic math and English and ready for Descartes and Hobbes by their eighth birthdays, because they're just not developmentally ready for some things yet.

lol

>>12001446
umm excuse me but this poem is seriously problematic, the working class person of color who is tasked with maintaining the tiger's cage is now going to face punishment from his manager, the tiger represents a middle class longing to escape the slave morality of the proletariat and challenge the vitality of the ruling class... moreover fetishizing the wildlife in former colonies is blatant orientalism, that poem is reactionary as shit, check ur privs

>>11998373

What the fuck Tyler

>>11999966

They shouldn't be learning math and Hobbes either. They should be exploring the world and themselves and learning how to self-regulate and manage their desires without the rigid classroom structure. When these skills atrophy or are never developed, the whole world goes to shit. They should not be forced to be under the authority of idiots who have no idea about child psychology, or the biological function of the human animal and its antithesis with culture. These kids can't even take a shit without raising their hand and asking these frigid retards and then they grow up to become fascists and communists.

Education is a pruning of all that we can be and it is sadism, only dressed up in the trappings of thanksgiving and other bullshit.

>>11999349
same, now I'm just a sad sack of shit
