Miss Raquel: Saving the "Natives" One Latte at a Time

As per the caption, this poem was written by two people together but Raquel only credits it to herself in the pic. The other person credits both.

I don’t understand the poem. How does it represent unconditional love? Are the waffles, drives, and plants meant to be contrasting, representing breadth, or similar, adding up to a cumulative representation of one something? Either way, showing what? The list just seems random.

And how does each sentence connect to the next? Seriously, they seem like a random list of topics, all different.

I don’t get it.

But maybe this means she’s not plagiarizing. Progress!

Ah, nothing like a great typo to further ruin an already terrible concatenation of "insights".

(Love envelope.)  

[AmazonGrace]

You can say you love many things that aren't people in relationships with you, and those of us with a prosaic nature may just note  that the word love is used in a number of different ways in colloquial speech,  eg. to denote "like a lot" or "enjoy doing" . But if you're a poet you can go out wasting gas while driving nowhere for no reason and tell yourself that you're being enveloped by love. And people who are in love should see all each other's  shit and stay regardless. 

Anyway that's what I thought it meant.

 

[Botkinetti]

I don’t think we’re meant to understand it. I think we are just supposed to marvel at the brilliance and desperately hope to be as wise as she is one day.

Haiku:

Let me sing the songs

you wrote about guys like you 

Notes get in your eyes

 

This is from her second book.

I thought this one was from Jesus' point of view but according to the caption it's a self-affirmation.

 More surrealistic spelling but the protagonist is still very special:

Maybe my brain needs to wake up a bit more this morning, but what the hell did eye just read? This seems a bit much even for Raquel. 

[AmazonGrace]

Ewe just don't understand. 

[AmazonGrace]

She has a sponsor now I guess.

Haiku:

stay wayward and wild

you are meant for so much more

but you can't do it

[AmazonGrace]

I guess she's happy that Texas ended the mask mandate. 

  The poem is from the third book and was inspired by a flight in Oregon.

 

 

 

Haiku

This airplane just flew

where the turbulence took us

No airport in sight

Haiku:

My skin looks better 

Use this code for a discount 

Broke up with more friends 

Spoiler

  It's not the spring,  Texas has better weather than a month ago  because Raquel manifested the reality she desires and is blessed for her faith.

And of course all of these things are equally important. No, who am I kidding? Raquel’s clear skin is by far the most important of these items. 

[formergothardite]

I’m assuming these people are glad to be out of Raquel’s life since serving her couldn’t have been pleasant.

@AmazonGrace, if you compiled your haikus into a book, I would buy a hundred copies at retail before paying a penny for any one of Raquel’s disasters.

One good haiku is

Better than all Raquel’s tripe.

Even God said so. 
(disclaimer:  this is not a good haiku)

[postscript]

I’m astonished anyone buys her poetry, when it’s all available for free on her social media. I doubt she’s ever had a thought she didn’t instantly communicate to Instagram or Twitter.

Non-native speaker here - is „unbounded“ even a word? I would have thought it’s „unbound“.

From Merriam-Webster:

unbounded

Definition of unbounded

1 : having no limit unbounded joy

2 : unrestrained, uncontrolled

Yes. I think the difference is unbound meaning “not or no longer tied up” and unbounded meaning “without edges/borders/boundaries.” Similar, but each useful in its own way.

In a tsunami

Everyone drowns but me and

the baby I saved

Apparently it's a dream she had.

Haiku:

What are the chakras 

Root, sacral, solar plexus.

Heart, throat, third eye, crown.

"My last words" sounds bad

But I don't think that she's dead 

It was her birthday

I tried to watch the video Raquel posted on Instagram. It was painful.  Apparently being raw and real means not planning what to say and instead repeating the same things while saying um a lot. What I got out of it is that Raquel has moved, no longer has siblings to take pictures of her and now she doesn’t know what to post on Instagram. She worded it as not having anyone to help her create content, but her content has always been pictures of herself. She assures us that she has always been her raw real self on social media. I believe it since I think she is actually a self absorbed person who has always thought she is super special and instead of putting effort into creating things just steals from others.

She made some comment about rethinking things that she was told and used to believe and didn't mention God or church once unless I missed something so I kind of wondered if the rethinking had to do with religious teachings.

I wonder if moving to California has been a bit of a culture shock. I’m not sure where she is living, but she might have  landed in a place where people will challenge her Trump worship and Calvinist religious beliefs. 

[AmazonGrace]

I thought she's in Texas.
