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!

oooh!!! this prompt is really interesting :00

i'm so glad you like it !! :]

very much enjoy the prompt this week :3

i love how it says so much with just a handful of words! i love the contrast! incredible :]

this is awesome!!!

I love the kindness and growth shining through in this, really like the format too!

the language here is so beautiful and tender!

this is an incredible piece, it's so reverent and intense and full of emotion. you are an amazing writer

beautiful work, there is so much life and detail in your writing. thank you for sharing!

"love scares me when all i have known is asymmetry" hits way too close to home. what a creative definition!!

thank you!!! it's all true :')

this is such an impressive poem - love the contrast between the inner world of the piece and the mathematical language!

@ryo thank you so much!!! i love writing mathsy poetry :D

I think the empty space to the right is really adding something to the piece. what a fun format, didn't know it was called that!

this is such a creative way to interpret the prompt! i liked your poem a lot !!! :D

I actually think you used the prompt as a jumping-off point very well - you explored the idea of asymmetry as a discrepancy between previously and currently held notions beautifully. it's a strong piece, love the final line!

gosh this is so very beautiful!

oh this is amazing!!! i really enjoyed your exploration of the prompt actually, i think there is a certain asymmetry in growing up and filling the space that opens up to you.
