hi it's divya g what does the G stand for? the G stands for girl you were thicker than
a bowl of oatmeal but you weren't gluten-free - rupi kaur
hold your sunglasses before we get to the shade can I just say that I do actually
enjoy reading some of these insta-poetry or like tumblr poetry because
because you know because okay before y'all rip up apart my wig and whip my
ass back to the Reformation I do acknowledge and appreciate the fact that
some of these poems acknowledges you know personal trauma and enables those
especially those who are like a minority to have and be able to express and
vocalize their experiences and talk about the you know taboo but boo does this
look like a review to you? I know some of y'all just clicked on this because
y'all want the tea and that's what I'm gonna serve. hunnymmmm I think that instapoetry
actually brings about a really important discussion not only to the way
how poetry and literature and prose is becoming sort of really commercialized for
the masses and it's sort of just being about selling and marketing and it's
just incredible see how poetry is kind of evolving on one hand you have you
know a lot more engaged youths you know the kids these days but on the other
hand I can't help but feel as if a few of these poems suffer from what I call
the Lele pons syndrome then it's pretty on the outside but there's not much
substance on the inside mm-hmm on you I mean you've gotta hand it to
these poets it takes a lot of skill to write about things that are just so
obvious so I'll make a how to write insta poetry slam poetry video one day but
anyway let's make this cover
*crinkling noises* *disgustingly vile tea sipping* ahhh
hello everybody welcome to my ASMR how to design a tumblr hipster poetry book
cover video. anyone can cook? anyone can create instapoetry covers and I'm
not gonna do that. FORGET minus b plus or minus the square root of b squared
minus 4ac over 2a I'll give you a very simple formula but how you can create
your own cover like this honestly it's gonna be so simple you will not believe
okay so we got to start with the background as always you want a solid
block color for your background something keep it simple either
something pastel out or something a little bit bolder but for today we're
gonna go with an off-white-white-girl poetry also cause it's pain and it's
generic. kind of like the verses. and then next all you really need is a title in a serif
font preferably typewriter because you know
only real poets *haughty voice* wRiTe On A TyPeWrItEr FFHEJfue. or alternatively it can be handwritten and kind of cute
looking. I think for our title we should go with tab and enter because if you
look at the structure of a lot of these poems there's a lot of blank spaces and
it's either because you know they can't fill it or because they think you know
space makes makes everything DEEP. it's just a metaphor. then that's kind of
literally all you need and just place it somewhere randomly on the page but
if you want to be a little bit extra you know them Instagram bullet journal
doodles? honestly just find an Instagram account
close your eyes, pick one, copy that. you know pot plants... flowers... cigarettes but
but not but not because we're trying to be #EDGY but you know because it's a
metaphor, hazel grace. so I'm thinking we should have a woman spreading her legs
because the topic in a lot of this poetry is about feminism and empowerment
and there's nothing wrong with that I'm just stating the obvious plsdontkillme
it was at this moment I realized I made a serious error 400 and I started
contemplating if I experience consciousness how do I know if your
consciousness is the same as my conciousness *overlapping voices* who killed tupac and biggie? is my red the same as your red? who am i? when will my reflection show who i am inside?
If a gingerbread man lives in a gingerbread house is the house made of him or is he made of the house? I also
realized that I can't draw with the mouse I used the drawing app on my phone
I was butter and he tried to spread me but I had just come out of the fridge.
-rupi kaur. I'm thinking we should have some flowers around you know the hoo-haa nick-knacks. because you know she's about to get pollinated
and let's embed an Enter key because you know it's juSt a MetAPhOr
and that's literally it that's all you do that that's it this is how you create
a tumblr hipster poetry book... like I have nothing else to say if you want to
hear more of my sarcastic dry wit and self-deprecating humor follow me on
Twitter & Instagram. a potato flew around my room before you came excuse the mess
you made it usually doesn't rain in southern california. *blooper poop* honestly the way some of these
poems are written like if you're supposed to be spilling the tea why is
the tea so lukewarm? M: Happy new yurr I just want to take a sip of tea if they'll let me. They told me there would be tea. Oh! It's a disaster
well we'll just have to rough it! I'm gonna be just like everybody else with no hot
tea.
