    Just read "First Snow" and it really stood out to me. The imagery of the first snow falling on a half-finished bridge somehow carries so much emotion and depth. It's like an unfinished story meeting a fresh beginning. The simplicity in the lines is impressive and truly evocative. Absolutely loved it!

      I read this ages ago and stumbled upon it again today. Funny how different it reads now. Can't say it knocked my socks off 🧦 though. Maybe it's the bare-bones simplicity that didn't do it justice for me. Guess we all have different tastes in poetry! 😄 Still somewhat nostalgic to go down memory lane and revisit old reads! 📚
