I really like the choice of formatting it as a prayer, it's a real bittersweet poem in that sense - how it speaks to a certain hope within the desperation and grief. great job!
this is extremely beautiful, i love it so much. pj strikes once again with poetry that speaks to my soul - j
I love how you interpreted the prompt - it's such a raw feeling that you're describing. really powerful piece!
i like this a lot!!! it's very powerful and visceral and i enjoy that about poetry in general, so well done :D - j
ooo i love how you phrased this, it's simple but evocative. "everything of the world, and nothing of myself" is such a good line.
love love LOVE the structure, repetition is one of my favorite poettic devices !!!
this is an excellent poem, it's really punchy and gets the message across beautifully without being too forceful... well done!!
obsessed with the humour and lightness of this, and the detailed culinary notes. love it!
@ryomakesthings thank you!!! i felt like writing something fun, but also complaining about that cup of coffee lol (i ended up finishing it, it somehow got better, or maybe i just got used to the taste)
omg this was so funny and heartwarming to read... i'm imagining it perfectly, thank you for sharing!
i love how it says so much with just a handful of words! i love the contrast! incredible :]
I love the kindness and growth shining through in this, really like the format too!
this is such a sweet poem, there is almost a kind of nostalgia in it. also love how compact it is, I think the length works really well!
ohhh this is lovely!!! it makes me happy to think about!!!
Love it, relatable.
