Hey @kate-flournoy ,

So I waited a while (to get a fresh perspective) and then read all of your different versions of the poem again, and, surprisingly, was more struck by the 2nd on the next read. The more rhythmic flow makes it somehow more rereadable, even though it’s less unexpected. I found that I liked something in-between the last two,…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy , I was flattered that you tagged me in this poem-problem-thingy. I didn’t reply sooner because I was (still am) working on some ideas/suggestions for your last poem, and because when I saw the length of this one I panicked . . . but I will read it soon, and let you know what I think:)

Thanks, @spradlin ! That was what I was going for when I wrote it . . . I think.

Thanks, @reaganramm ! (You won’t regret this;)

@Ingridrd @jadamae thank you for saying so. Your praise encourages me to continue with poetry writing. This is one of the few poems I have written that I think is any good, but you make me want to edit the bad ones and see if I can’t make something of them after all. Who knows? 🙂

As to the name, I’m so glad we’re all of the same mind! That…[Read more]
