Re: definition of poetry, I’m reminded of Anne Shirley declaring that a sunbeam coming through trees and hitting a log on a pond to be a perfect poem (I’m badly paraphrasing, but you get the point). And speaking of wordy women, Anne and LM definitely fit that bill!
Anyway—LOVED this. Thank you for sharing your words. Keep being loud and tall, friend. We need you out here saying the things. 💚
I gotta say (with humor and levity) that I'm a genuine Taylor Swift fan. While not a full-blown Swiftie, she's proudly been of my Spotify top artist almost every year for the past decade. And 🫣 ... the lyrics of But Daddy I Love Him definitely needed an editor. Catchy af, for sure. But the "not jokes" in the chorus just ruiiiiins it.
Please don't cancel your reading with me this weekend 😘
100% respect this! No canceling necessary!!! 🫶🏼 This is what I mean by nuance though. You have things to say (completely valid things by the way) about one song and as someone who is an actual fan. Not a broad brush “it’s too long, edit” message! I do think that the wordiness of this song in particular makes a little more sense when she performs it on stage
