You know her! Two of my favorite youtubers!
Gabbie has actually stolen a lot of her "poetry" from people on twitter. You can find the concealer one easily if you type it into google.
Oh, are you still wanting subscriber poetry to review? :)
I stumbled across both of your channels separately a while ago and it's so lovely to see you both shouting one another out and, it seems, developing a real life friendship. Honestly, the TH-cam we need. Keep it up! xx
Love her too. Is it bad I watched hers first? I'm sorry. Lol
I feel Gabbie would have benefited from what my college English professor taught me: Bad poetry uses the intangible to describe the tangible; good poetry uses the tangible to describe the intangible.
wow. that's profound
thats some good advice tho, fr.
That's so well put.
Plagueis always was a great teacher
Share with us your poetry good sir Palpatine
*Makes a dig at “I’m not like other girls” girls
“I want a snack UWU SO QUIRKY”
The ironyyyyyyyyyy
It would be interesting if it was done on purpose, if that last line indicated that she was all of the above.
It all comes down to having no self-awareness
buy gold bye exactly and there is zero self awareness on her part haha
@@MirandolinaAmaldin that would be great tbh
MirandolinaAmaldin she’s not creative enough for all that.
I literally saw the acne one on tumblr years ago... Her poetry doesn't just sound like tweets, it sounds like stolen tweets
@Angelic Her art is actually very good
@@memali2939 not her visual art
@Angelic didn’t Rachel say her art is badly traced from photos?
@@memali2939 it her sisters
She thought she was so original lol
Me: mum, can we get Bo Burnham?
Mum: we have Bo Burnham at home
Bo Burnham at home:
:)!
this is the best use of this meme
y'all i'm not one to be a stan or gatekeep-y but if i have learned one thing in this world bo burnham is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than gabbie hanna so to even compare them is a disgrace 😤😤😤
I know how this meme is supposed to work, but calling Gabbie Hannah even "Bo Burnham at home" is just...bad, in not the way you intended.
What's so bad about it?
“I wear makeup because I have acne” “I have acne because I wear makeup” wow that’s so deep 👁 👄 👁
👁:;👄,.:👁 (The dots are acne)
Darko 👁🍕👄🍕👁
👁🔴⚫👄⚪🔵👁
so are her pores 😍😍😍
👁👅👁
let’s write our own crappy poetry:
*author*
im an author. i write books.
*you*
you inspire me. i inspire me. we inspire me.
*tomato*
red like the fruit.
head with the roots.
got farts, like toots.
*I am*
not happy.
*microwave*
You burned
My pizza rolls.
But you don't realise
You work for me.
*people*
People are people.
*We*
We are what we say we are. We are we.
*Are*
The state of which
is current to us
*Poop*
Poop is brown, farts make me frown.
@Oh My Goody Gumdrops That's nice to hear :D
@@kishinumaayumi this is way better than Gabbie's, not gonna lie
She gives you part of a metaphor and then wants you to fill in the rest. Then she covers up her laziness by saying that if you don’t get it you don’t understand her.
Oh absolutely!
This!!!
Exactly.
People crave me
People love me
I am a snack
@@justdancefitted2023 the snack that smiles back...goldfish
rachel: i couldn’t be a poet, i can’t use my words like that
also rachel: *proceeds to improve on all of gabbi’s poems and lists endless metaphors far better than hers*
Elisa Castro
Yeah, a little bit
Elisa Castro i mean, yes they’re bad, but sometimes things can cause damage anyways because teens tend to be pretty impressionable when they love an influencer.
@Mary Anne KO awareness is never bad. especially with knowledge that should be common like makeup
"I am so kind"
If you have to announce to people that you're nice - You Are Not.
It's like saying you're an Alpha Male - If you have to say it, you're not.
Sarah A if you're nice, people probably will be able to see it. Also, alpha male is such a cringe term...
Yea...I don’t really need you to TELL me that. If you are “so kind”, why don’t you show me instead? Actions REALLY do speak louder than words in this.
Sarah A Ironically Gabbie has actually tweeted this exact sentiment 😂
Also, "alpha male" is not a thing that exists
Callie I was gonna say that. Funny how Gabby Hannah is such a hypocrite huh..
Poetry is definitely subjective, but there’s a lot of trash that gets passed as “art.”
Terrible Christian Movies case and point Yoko Ono’s music
@Elisa Castro I adore The Room abd Birdemic
They are still utter trash
Yes. Modern "poetry" I hate do much of it.
Rupi Kaur and all of the poets like her, they are writing glorified twitter posts and it's annoying. It's not art, it doesn't have layers it just plain bad and boring.
Yet the stuff always has 4 to 5 stars on Goodreads, dreadful.
I bought some poetry booklets off amazon cause I like poetry, but they were by regular people and not from influencers. Still they all were very similar to this. Like 10 random words per page or 1 "deep" sentence per page or a word definition. I guess that's normal poetry nowadays?
Nah it’s still technically art, just shitty trash art
Gabbie Hanna writes what in Swedish used to be called dårdikt (direct translation: fool's poetry). This term does not mean it's poetry done by a fool though, but rather rushed and without afterthought.
That's interesting, thank you.
Are there particular poets you recommend? I'm intrigued by dårdikt and want to read more.
@@dwdillydally well, lol, theres Gabbie Hannah.
Dadaism also side-eyes Gabbie's Art...
so like a poetaster?
"adultolescense" ? she's 28. It's just adult at that point.
It basically describes her tbh. She's immature
I believe the title means that she is an adult, but she still has a part of her that is stuck in her adolescence.
The contents could have been written years ago. The year you publish doesn’t have to be the year you write it
@@youeclipseall one of the poems talks about how she needs to fill pages for her book deal. To me it seems like they were all written especially for the book
Violet H. I think you’re totally right. It’s really clear to me that Gabbie still thinks she can get away with being irresponsible and toxic emotionally because she views and treats herself as a child. However, she romanticizes that persona and that really shows through the coined title and what she considers “deep” in her poetry. It’s honestly dangerous for her to keep romanticizing her behaviors especially regarding mental illness because she ends up justifying every bad habit she has without taking any responsibility for it. I think this poetry book honestly does say a lot about her in this way
She needs to read more! Build up her toolbox. Can’t write poetry without reading it.
Yesssssss! This! ♥
Gabbie actually admitted that she doesn’t read poetry, so that says a lot 😳
@@joshuaalexander9980 tf, why would anyone write poetry if they don't even like poetry?
Exept for money of course
Maximellow she’s expressed time and time again through many different forms that she basically only does this for the money, so you’re not wrong at all lmao
Well that is just sad. It is sad that people like us can’t get book deals. When we’re passionate, but she can write a shitty book and sell a ton of them.
She recently made a video where she addressed her poetry (I feel it was a roundabout, indirect response to your videos tbh lol) but she claims that people with depression and people that have been through "darker times" understand the subliminal messages more.... I dont agree lol
As someone who has had issues with depression, anxiety, self-harm and is still medicated for those issues... no. Being ill doesn't suddenly give us super-powers to see something that isn't there. :P
I had depression and can still confirm that those poems from which I have seen are very much surface level with their meanings
Another member of depression and anxiety club here. There are times when my conditions do cause me to read into things and pick up on subtext that might not really be there etc. If there is some in these, though, then it's...very very deeply buried indeed, 'cause I ain't seeing it. It's not even just that the poems aren't that deep - the two Shakespeare sonnets in this video are fairly straightforward! With these, though, the message lacks both depth and elegance in its execution.
I am clinically depressed, suspected bipolar. I read, appreciate, and write poetry, and as far as I can see she's just a shill screwing money out of people with badly written, lazy word salad.
As someone that's been through dark times, has severe anxiety, frequently dissociates, and even dealt with self-harm; nah fam. And as someone that dabbles in poetry myself (as a way to express myself and my emotions) nah. They're shit lolol
Shakespeare’s poems: Wonderful, meaningful, romantic
Shakespeare’s plays: Dick jokes, strange insults, curses
what, you egg? *stabs him*
Yeah, he was playing to his audience. I am rehearsing Purcell's version of a midsummer nights dream right now and that play really is witty at times. And just plain gross at times...
@@CainXVIIdecent story but has some sexism amarite
14:39 "ever notice that the word synonym doesn’t have a synonym?"
No, I haven’t, because it does. It has more than one.
Metonym, substitute, equivalent, etc.
It might not mean exactly the same, but I’d say they’re similar enough to replace the word synonym in most contexts, which is what a synonym is.
Emily Barclay Oh I see what you did there. Haha...
*The doors over there* 👉🏠
Emily Barclay that was the quickest reply Ive ever had. Wow.
Bye now :)
THANK YOU! I hate when people say that, like obviously synonym has a synonym why wouldn't it 😖😂
Synonyms almost never mean exactly the same. we have different associations with different words. It’s not a requirement. Ugh gabbie
Even if a synonim didn't have a synonim it would be absolutely fine, because it's a term, and to avoid any ambiguity the terms is exactly this group of words that is not supposed to have a synonim at all. Which makes her "poem" even more stupid...
Your video: insightful content, literary analysis, backed up with comparisons to more effective poetry because you are knowledgeable in this genre
My video: me mispronouncing critic as 'cricket'. Twice.
Yeah... but you found the typo I missed so I think we’re on the same level 😛
don't beat up on yourself too much! we're all our own worst cricket ;)
She’s a reptile, she’s an insect...is there anything this woman can’t do?
Cricket: good response to Gabbie's works,
Whether referring to scraping legs
Or to an afternoon with ten stiff jerks,
Tossing bits of cork at willow pegs.
cricket
The body is only 60% to 70% water. She has the nerve to act all overly confident but then she uses a very far off statistic? Huh.
She's secretly a jellyfish... shhhhhhh...
@@heinrich.hitzinger I mean it would explain the lack of a brain

Dr.CandyStriper oh damn
Charlatte From Starbucks i think she confused humans with cucumbers
Rewriting “Concealer” by Gabbie Hanna
I wear make up because I have acne.
I have acne because I wear make up.
I have bruises because I bother you.
I bother to cover because I see your face
in every black and blue.
I hate blue jays because they remind me of you. But of course I’d never tell,
for fear of more black and blue hues.
So when you ask, I wear make up because I have acne.
Not my best work, but I did this quick edit in 5 minutes to show what can happen if Gabbie just thought a little more about her work and the potential it could have in double meanings and worthy repetitions in words and in form if she just spent a little more time thinking and editing.
Ooh, very well done. I loved this
Sea Bunny thank you so much!
Damn I LOVE the execution and the deep message behind this!!!
"I bother to cover because i see your face" feels very misplaced here, though that could be because I can only think of gabbies writing. This is quite nice though.
@@ahshitherewegoagain7461 maybe “i bother to seek cover when i see your face” would be better? maybe i interpreted the line wrong 😅 i’m not english
My favorite part of this video was you calling Shakespeare “Shaky boy”😂😂
Johanna Pipoli my drama teacher regularly refers to Shakespeare as “Willy shakes”
@@laylamae3528 that's a fantastic drama teacher
sappho fragments that aren't even full poems genuinely make me feel more than gabbie's poetry
i love sappho
Ahh I love Sappho
Who is Sappho? I’m genuinely curious now.
the amazing truckosaurus an Ancient Greek poet
the amazing truckosaurus a Ancient Greek singer I think, most libraries have books with her poems ☺️
she really tried it with the "i'm not like other girls" quote in that poem as if her quote about wanting a snack isn't the most basic shit in the world
"she was inspired by bo burnham in this poetry book"
she did him dirty :/
rachel passionately reading bo burnham lyrics with the same intonation she uses to read carol ann duffy just made my day
I kinda wanna see rachel just analyze her favorite poems. Like I love these compare and contrast videos but when she starts talking about the professionally written ones she explains them so well and so passionately that I’ve found a new appreciation for poetry!
Me too 👍
I second this
Same!
A few months ago, my english lessons made me dislike poetry, as all we did was analyse mediocre poems for hours on end, then I found Rachel’s channel and her few videos on poetry. They made me realise how beautiful poetry can be and got me into reading poems, I’m very thankful 😊
Who would have thought that an intellectual analysis of poetry would become stupid drama in 2021. Lol. Love your videos on poetry.
For real tho... GH needs help.
This is exactly like how the romantic poets would write letters to the editors of poetry magazines to diss each other publicly.
@@daniellekail9911 that’s exactly what I was thinking of lol. I love drama so in the old poetry/English world
My take on the concealer poem, trying to get the same emotions across that i think gabby was trying to portray
Concealer
This is the skin that I'm in.
Wear it well, wear it thin.
Embracing me warm and comforting;
Pulling over me taught and suffocating.
It is my most honest feature.
Every crease and divet, bump and colour,
Tells my story raw and real.
A story far too raw and real, to feel.
It keeps me together
And for that I am grateful,
It is perfectly mine
And for that I am hateful.
THIS IS AMAZING
this is such a wonderful poem, i adore it !
This is lovely! My only critique is the use of “raw and real” a second time, right after the other line.
But other than that, it’s beautiful. I’m shocked this doesn’t have more likes!
@@crownclowncreationsi feel like that was done on purpose? Sometimes repetition is used to get a point across or highlight something important
Have you ever thought about doing such a video about rupi kaur's poetry? I'd be really interested to see your opinion on that!
love this idea!
I thought that 'adultolescence' reminds me of Rupi Kaur's poetry and that it looks heavily inspired by it. The illustration and format is similar but kind of dumbed down. I like Rupi Kaur though but I don't think she's as great as people put her out to be.
Woooof talk about lazy poetry
Yes!
I hate Rupi Kaurs poetry so much. Why do so many people love it?
Twitter has better "poems"
I've actually read one of her poetry books, i don't think they're all bad... the message in some of them is really deep and some have actually moved me emotionally, but at the same time there are others that i think are just not that good so thats why i'm curious too see what others think about it haha
You're actually more harsh within this video and I'm for it, you back up your arguments with poetic reasoning and comparisons so throw as much truthful shade as possible
"Truthful shade" 💛💙 I'm here for it and will bring tea to share.
The fact that Gabby used Bo Burnham as inspiration makes me feel like she's never really listened to any of his songs
Annabelle Hulbert it feels like she listened to it, and totally didn’t pay attention to anything except for the goofy bits.
@@AspiringCrybaby2018 EXACTLY, and the fact that Bo Burnham is a sort of role model for me and so many other people just makes what Gabbie did so much worse.
Annabelle Hulbert I agree completely. I love Bo Burnham, and I can relate with a lot of the issues that he talks about, and the way she not only completely missed the whole point, tried to rip it off, and then claimed that she was influenced by his work is just.... ugh.
Annabelle Hulbert you’re completely right. the end of make happy makes me cry my fucking eyes out every time because of the raw emotion that he shows through i can’t handle this and are you happy. the lack of honesty in her poems is sad tbh. she cant be as raw as bo can unless she can be honest with herself :/
Her saying “I just want a snack” is her way of being “I’m not like other girls”
but you're just ... not made of 98% water
and I've even googled to check it!
Can’t believe she wasn’t bothered enough to actually check that
cant believe neither she or the editor caught that??? 🙄
Even jellyfish aren’t 98% water, they’re around 95%. How does she think we’re more ‘watery’ than jellyfish?
tbh i think she confused it with cucumbers hahaha, i think i read somewhere theyre made of about 98 percent water
"I wear make-up because I have acne/I have acne because I wear make-up" Girl, wash your face.
Like, I do wear make-up and have acne, but I'm pretty sure my acne is because 1) I am on a hormonal birth control, and 2) I have depression, and sometimes go through periods where I don't wash my face.
Elisa Castro same. Plus a hormonal condition. But I don’t think makeup is worth my time (no shade, makeup is a beautiful art form, I’m just not passionate about it and don’t want to spend time to do it), and even I know, if you’re getting acne from your makeup, you either need to fix your skin care routine or your makeup is old/dirty and you need to replace/clean it.
My face used to look as if someone had splashed red paint on it. Never used makeup.
This has nothing to do with poetry but look into Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) for acne! My skin went crazy because of birth control and I’ve tried everything except for accutane and for real Pantothenic Acid has worked really well in a short amount of time.
Rachel: Mentions Shakespeare
Me: You egg. [He stabs him]
You see, I’m somewhat of an intellect-
i laughed for a good minute or two
this is what i thought of too LMAO
“Thou hast undone our mother!” “Villain, I have *done* thy mother.”
@@emilylike-the-soup2502 you are a literary genius for this line
Don’t forget the line that the masterpiece that is You Egg” precedes:
“He has kill’d me, mother” *dies*
That line is so fucking funny to me
THE “IRONY” POEM IS SERIOUSLY SO BAD I HAVE NO WORDS
Julia Rodriguez there’s a metaphor somewhere in that
imagine having acne bc of hormones or germs, gabby rly can't relate
did anyone else notice how she talks so much more about the other poems rather than Gabbie's, because they are so much more complex and actually have layers and depth to them?
also, a thought i had (and it might be completely false and illogical): good poetry should be understood and felt even when you don't know the context behind it. for example, knowing that Gabbie has struggled with weight and healthy lifestyle, i know that the "philosophy" poem is sort of a commentary on the "diet culture" and eating disorders. but when Rachel read that poem that was a play on "feeding the proverbial masses", i didn't know the author and her life story and i still understood and felt the deeper meaning behind it.
First time watching these through and lord if this is bullying I wish someone would bully me about my art
Gabbie: I hate drama
Also gabbie: if you say that you hate drama, you actually probably love drama.
Hm🤔🤔🤔
XOXOFatBitch oh my gosh is that james marriott
Rieslynn Bernier of course. who else could possibly portray such beauty and grace?
💞 James marriott 💞 UWU look 👀 at that spicy roll of liFe 👼 framed by a simple circle 😤 🥺🥺
XmadX kid *chef’s kiss* Wank material at its finest. 😤
The last time I was this early Gabbie Hanna still hadn't discovered poetry
I don't think she has yet.
Lol she still hasn't
I think you and Angelika Oles could also bond over this book lol
let me rephrase the concealer poem:
"I dont wear makeup because I feel confident
... well, and also cuz Im late for work. Ahem."
It feels like Gabbie spent about as much time on her poem as I did. Just in case, this is coming from someone who enjoys makeup... just not Monday till Friday when Im running for the bus ;)
“I wear makeup because I have acne” “I have acne because I wear makeup”
''I don't hate you because you're fat, you're fat because I hate you'' - was that poetry as well?
I’m dying lmao 😂
Just started watching the video, but the fact that you're analyzing Bo's song makes this video soooooooo special to me
she told me to google it, so I did
the human bottle is on average about 75% water,,,,,, she didn't even- I cant
@Elisa Castro The body can be a bottle of sorts, tho
It works lmao
@@chickenpermission5381 you know what bottle is now my new favourite word to refer to humans.
Haha the human bottle?
“bottle” was obviously a metaphor for “body” and y’all just don’t see the poetry smh
B O T T L E
jeez, now I kind of want you to tear apart my own poetry, when are you taking submissions lmao
Same
here’s the best poem ever:
this is the best poem ever.
I love the way you talk about and analyze poems. Have you ever thought about doing a video where you read viewers poems? I think that would be awesome
YES. i would love for Rachel to read some of my poems but i felt weird about commenting that lol.
yes!!
This is a petition for Alizee and Rachel Oates collab videos
Also, I just thought of this... It's interesting how people like Gabbie Hanna and Trisha Paytas dabble in producing music, but fail to put the same energy into writing poetry. Truly, the most moving music is just melodic poetry.... So why be so lazy here but work hard (assumingly) in an album
Well you can't "autotune" poetry soooo....🤷
Wym, dubstep is super moving and it's alyrical 😂😂
"Poetry" was kind of a cute poem not gonna lie. if it were to come from anyone but her, I might've appreciated it a lot more, but alas, sometimes good ideas have to strike the lazy.
Jupiter The Gas Giant I agree, but as they say, broken clocks are right two times a day.
Shawna Basallo I’ve never heard that saying before, I like it 👌🏽
quite cute, but not worth 8 dollars lmao
"i hate drama" - a very dramatic person
SHE LITERALLY HAS SAID BEFORE THAT SHE HATES DRAMA HAHAHA
i was super into poetry in high school, specifically spoken word. then i went to uni and lost the time. these videos have inspired me to write again. so thank you :)
im glad u brought up Bo's poetry/songs because I remember her constantly saying his book was the inspo for her when she was promoting it
29:35 this is my favourite poem, becuase in it she tells us to google "water intaxication", while clearly she hasn't googled how much water is in a human body, because it is around 60%, not 98%. This takes literally 10 seconds to google, so I guess that tells you how much time she puts in her poetry
Personally I credit your fantastic videos with starting the trend of the internet mocking Gabbie’s poetry. Keep up the great work, Rachel
I'm not even bothering to watch the video, but the fact that she's encouraging people to say stuff like this... lost respect for her. This is overkill.
Oh I see encouraging people to say what?
@@aberdeen0107 To say that "mocking" others is "great work"
I never meant to imply that mocking others is “great work”. By “keep up the great work”, I meant “keep putting out quality videos because I really like your content a lot”
@@erikdaniels0n I find it hard to believe that part of that quality you like is not the mocking that many others are imitating or worse. Why would you mention that in the first place and in a way that seems praiseworthy? It's hard to not infer that you're on board with the mocking from that comment alone. And she liked it. Regardless of YOUR intent, she loses empathy and good judgement points for that in my book.
i liked when the reading of shakespeare was interrupted by an ad break it was very 2020
It was exhausting just watching this, can’t imagine actually reading the book; Rachel’s really out here doing the lord’s work hahah
I feel like when Gabbie was in her emo phase she was told she was good at poetry by a friend and it went straight to her head and never came down.
Rachel’s roasts of Gabbie are better crafted than anything Gabbie’s ever written
Came for the tea, (masterfully, skillfully spilled), stayed for THE MOST PRECIOUS BABY IN THE WORLD WHAT THE HELL WHO GAVE YOUR DOG THE RIGHT, I'm
I love that there's a point in this video, she wasn't just criticising Gabbie's poetry, she also showed you how to find good makeup products. I mean, she gave you bunch of handful skincare tips while dragging Gabbie.
Poetry about poetry is usually a warning sign. It's almost always written by someone so satisfied with themselves for "being a poet" that they forgot to have anything interesting to say.
Yes, sometimes they can be rather … self-indulgent?
I can think of two that I like, though: “American Poetry” by Louis Simpson and “Blk Girl Art” by Jamila Woods. Admittedly, though, I’m no great poetry analyst, I just love the way these poems sound read aloud - Blk Girl Art in particular is very musical :)
Gabbi Hana's poetry books comes across as a collection of amusing tweets. "The Best of Twitter" if you will
L Mallia “the best”?
If this is the best of twitter im deleting the app
It would have probably been better for her to name it that too lol
The "Best" in italics maybe, and more specifically "The Best of Gabbie Hana's Twitter"
Okay but like also Gabbie released 2 or 3 “limited edition” colors of her “poetry” book and encouraged her fans to pick up every color which is clearly just a cash grab and grasping at the opportunity to be on some best seller list.
💀💀💀 shiit
Well... that pisses me off to no end.
She did it again with "limited" editions of her next poetry book
Josie Miller THERES A "NEXT" ONE ?????
«I conceal my flaws
I have flaws because I conceal them»
Girl, did you not realise how deep that was? You tried to poke out gabbies terribly written poem and somehow made something 10 times better than Gabbies! It was by no means a poem, but it still hit me
i was gonna say!! she read a shitty poem and took a way more meaningful message out of it that gabbi definitely wasnt intending to say. that poem was no way anything more than what she typed up surface level, but rachel found something that could actually be turned into a great developed idea. gabbi could never lol
I love that Rachel is such a genuine and kind person. Like when she plugged her merch, she sounded so proud of her designs and just wanted to be able to keep making art and content for us. Even as she critiques Gabbie, she is respectful and tells when a poem has potential. It isn’t hateful or mean. Just constructive.
I vote that the right time to stop making videos on these is once you've gone through the whole thing, I find these analyses (as if there is anything to properly analyse) so much fun to watch!
This shit is common these days. People have made a ton of money from overhyped “poetry” books. I remember one where each page was basically just a few lines with a crappy drawing. The author made millions. Easiest money ever.
Was it this book?
@@candle_carl5348 Maybe Rupi Kaur's books that blew up on instagram.
Yes probably “milk and honey”
@@khushigill8651 Rupi Kaur mimics a poetry style from India as a way of connecting with her roots/her ancestry.
And her poetry is available online for free so people can see what it's about without buying her books - doesn't seem like a cash grab to me.
I can say that while I wasn't impressed by her poems the first time I read them, they grabbed a hold of me and I have considered buying her books to analyse why - though I do have a more visceral reaction to "the sun and her flowers" than I have to "milk and honey" - knowing about the effort she put into those books makes me resent the way you mention her here.
You are of course entitled to your opinion and I get that feelings are very subjective as well as how a superficial glance might give someone a (in my opinion) *wrong* impression
@@mart87scarb I'm confused. I have no idea why you refer to me as "Hannah" and I was talking about Rupi Kaur - I'm not talking about some Hannah or about Gabby. 😕???
/Edit: realised that you probably said Hannah because it's "Gabbie Hanna" - everything I know about her is what I heard Rachel say about her. I had never heard about her before Rachel started talking about her book which hopefully explains why I got confused since Rachel refers to her as Gabbie much more.
her poetry sound like something that would be found in old tumblr screenshots on pinterest
except those are better cause you dont have to pay to see them
Most of them are better than this
First poem I've written! feel free to critique
Pedals
I might have been late, I only learned to bike last year.
In all fairness, I’ve been in a cycle my whole life.
The more routined
I get, the more mindless
I become with
Each rotation on the pedal.
I try to steer into new directions
To distract myself
From the never-ending cycle.
I'm absolutely losing my mind at the part where it says '"I hate drama"- a very dramatic'. It's like she's one step away from being self aware, but her pretension is so big she can't step around it.
Oml I absolutely LOVE this ♥️
She’s admitted MULTIPLE times that she’s dramatic.
i love these so much. you can feel the passion she has surrounding poetry. she has wonderful views on the book. she goes into thorough detail and doesn’t just say ‘it’s bad’ she says ‘it’s bad and here’s why and here’s how it could be better and here’s another poem like it...’ and it’s wonderful!
"Can't handle this" is definitely brilliant
It’s like Gabbie decided to write a “poetry book” because she can put fewer words per page and fill out the minimum page count of a book faster than if she put actual effort into poetry
I have never really been into poetry, but this little "passion project" as Rachel calls it has definitely sparked my interest. I want to learn more !
The concealer poem is literally something she tweeted 5 months before the book was released.
Seriously?
@@kaeleylyons5776 yep. When I got the book it sounded familiar to me and that’s when I realized that she had tweeted it.
@@haileygrimmius9451 Oh god-
The water one has the same impact as "without the sauce a man is lost, but that same man can become lost in the sauce"
Anyone remember “Deep Thoughts with Jack Handy” from back when SNL was funny? These remind me of that except not funny.
Yea snl isn’t funny anymore I wonder what happened
Hah this is perfect...
Sorted by newest and saw some terribly misinformed & biased comments. Hope you know those of us who watch all your videos and are inspired by your content are here & for YOU. Youre one of the few creators who has openly spoken about self harm, and it meant a lot for me to listen. I don’t really meet other people who have struggled with it, & seeing someone speaking vulnerably like that is extremely empowering. So thank you. And please don’t listen to these assholes
finding out that rachel and alizee are friends isn't something i didn't expect but much appreciate :") they're both adorable and so witty
i love these videos, especially how you connect to more professional poets! i think that these "poets" are popular because a lot of kids want to read poetry but don't know where to start - and now you're giving them a place to start that isn't... gabbie hanna
You came out in this analysis and I LOVED it. Never stop Rachel, thank you.
I just love watching Rachel talk poetry
love this series! I think it's funny it came out today because I just won an award for poetry (can't compete with gabbie tho ;) )
Congratulations on your award!
I'm gonna be completely honest. I only clicked on your first video because I enjoy watching people shit on gabbie (I have my reasons ok. It's not just to watch her burn because I'm an internet troll. I know her somewhat personally and I have personal reasons why I like watching people shit on her) anyyyywayyyy, I say that to say this, which I think is more important: After watching your first video responding to her poetry, I ACTUALLY walked away with a greater appreciation for poetry. It's something I dabbled in when I was younger and you've kind of started to re-ignite my interest in it. Seeing your enthusiasm and passion for it, and watching how excited you get describing your love for poetry genuinely struck a chord with me. Watching you pick apart and analyze those poems (both gabbie's but more so the professional ones) was very intriguing. It's obvious how much it means to you and that really resonates with me. Much love, and keep doing your thing :)
I can't get out of bed because I'm sad. I'm sad because I can't get out of bed.
I’m anxious because i haven’t done my homework. I haven’t done my homework because I’m anxious.
Came for the fun, stayed for Shakespeare sonnets. And doggo.
Here is my favourite:
”When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.”
(#29)
that's such a moving poem! my fave is sonnet 147:
"My love is as a fever, longing still
For that which longer nurseth the disease,
Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,
The uncertain sickly appetite to please.
My reason, the physician to my love,
Angry that his prescriptions are not kept,
Hath left me, and I desperate now approve
Desire is death, which physic did except.
Past cure I am, now reason is past care,
And frantic-mad with evermore unrest;
My thoughts and my discourse as madmen's are,
At random from the truth vainly express'd;
For I have sworn thee fair and thought thee bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night."
i just watched all the parts and you can see her just lose her mind slowly through them
yeah the poems bad but as someone with sensitive skin i can assure you high quality expensive makeup definitely CAN break you out. tarte shape tape is “hypoallergenic” but due to its fragrance it always breaks me out. clinique, too faced, kat von d, you name it, it’ll break my skin out. and yes I have a very good skincare routine every morning and night, and i know it’s from the concealer because I only break out when and where it was placed.
If “I don’t care what other people think” means you’re insecure, then what are you supposed to say if you genuinely don’t care what other people think?
cheese straws
You are SO BRILLIANT. I 'm an English student, and I like literature (especially poetry), so your videos about Gabbie Hanna's poems are so fascinating. I love the way that you explain your points, you are so funny and authentic, yet gentle in a way, like you don't come across as offensive. Brilliant content! ❤
P.S- I studied "Shall I Compare Thee" in Introduction to Literature. I actually had a different interpretation of the poem- that the persona is blindly in love and egoistical! 👻💕
But yes, the sonnet is still absolutely beautiful.
Also, I like how you said that you are not perfect at art, but that just means that you have to work harder. Your optimistic energy has touched me! ❤
@Rachel Oates ,
I’m reading through some of the recent comments & noticed your responding more towards negative feedback. Maybe your clearing some of they’re assumptions up 🤷🏼♀️ , But I hope you see my comment.. I’d like to say I’m so happy that I found your content, I didn’t realize how much I like poetry til I came across your channel. Your very informative while also giving me a laugh at the small jokes thrown into your videos. I just hope your taking in all the good energy from people thats here rooting for you more than some hate coming from people thats clueless to the whole situation. I see good things coming your way for your channel from all of this, and can’t wait to see more of your content 😊 💐💛
When you read Gabbies "POETRY" poem, and said how it's a good concept, but a really unoriginal execution, all I could think about is this song by Florence and the Machine called "All This and Heaven Too", this is how you do that same sentiment right:
And the heart is hard to translate
It has a language of it's own
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs
And prayers and proclamations in the grand days
Of great men and the smallest of gestures
In short shallow gasps
But with all my education
I can't seem to commend it
And the words are all escaping me
And coming back all damaged
And I would put them back in poetry
If I only knew how, I can't seem to understand it
And I would give all this and heaven too
I would give it all if only for a moment
That I could just understand
The meaning of the word you see
'Cause I've been scrawling it forever
But it never makes sense to me at all
And it talks to me in tiptoes
And sings to me inside
It cries out in the darkest night
And breaks in the morning light
No, words are a language
It doesn't deserve such treatment
And all my stumbling phrases
Never amounted to anything worth this feeling
All this heaven never could describe
Such a feeling as I'm healing, words were never so useful
So I was screaming out a language
That I never knew existed before
Yes! As an aspiring poet myself, that song, -and Florence songs in general-, certainly have their place of honor in my all-time favorites. 🙌 Especially taking into consideration how it could be read about her struggle with dyslexia with the still ever-present love she has for writing and the emotions it can evoke in us... or maybe just implying that feelings are sometimes way beyond the capacity that words have to describe them (though still she does a better job at it than most songwriters/writers out there)... so yeah, certainly one of the best musicians/artists of this generation in my opinion. 😊✨
@@bluebie017 YES! And so many layer to everything she writes!
You are especially savage in this video I can tell you had coffee with Alizee
😂I just came from Alizee’s video on this! PLEASE COLLAB if possible! You guys are both great.
I’m loving these poetry analysis videos ! please keep making them, i could listen to you talk about poetry for hours
I feel like Alizee has had a bit of an influence on you and you adopted a bit more of a savage tone after spending so much time with her😂😂😂💕
