oh, sweet memory

I don\'t know how the hell you managed to capture the very feeling of nostalgia but you did it, lovely, with a flourish. Your poems are becoming a favourite of mine. Sorry to be relentlessly stalking your poems but their tone feels familiar even though I\'ve never seen it before and the skill it takes to do that is incredible.

Beautiful imagery. There is a book by Clarice Lispector called Água Viva spilling over the go in with incredible imagery (just a reccommendation) and your poem reminds me of one of my favourite lines in there:

\"I want a cloak woven from threads of solar gold... I open the black umbrella and throw myself into a feast of dancing where stars sparkle\"

And reading your poems make me feel the same way as I felt reading these quotes. You have a natural gift for it.

Incredible. Your words flow like a mountain spring, a rhythm like that is hard to achieve so I applaud you👏

Very nice. Life can be so cruel making for a sad existence. Life can be so beautiful when we are finally, truly able to exist.

That\'s what true love is. Wanting someone to be happy even at the cost of your displeasure. Well said.

Boaz,
This is so, so sad and agonizing. My only wish is to have been there for you when you needed an adult to listen to you and understand your plight! I wish you well! Be strong!

Lorna said:

What a world to grow up in......... there\'s some kind of sickness out there.....I\'m sorry you have to live through all this...... it shouldn\'t be this way. Hurting children is the lowest form of hate.......

Caring dove said:

hello , this is a very strong and powerful read.. i do think that many kids feel unprotected in schools.. unsafe and vulnerable in front of bullies im not even sure that people in schools even do enough about it . its a sad state of affairs. and i feel sorry for anybody who has been bullied in life, i ve been bullied a little in the past and its certainly not nice

I like this poem, especially the last stanza!

Little Lost Love
FredPeyer said:

I like the way you structured this poem and the way you use the boots as a metaphor. Tying the laces, brushing off cobwebs, very nice!
But that last line is the best!

I sat very still with the wolf and the moon reading this...... awfully good.

hold (me) tight
queer-with-a-pen said:

Thank you so saying so many nice things about my writing! And yeah, if you’re anything but white and cis/het, high school was hell. I’m so glad I’m in college now.

Aislinn Wilson said:

I really love the nod to the nonbinary nature of people as a whole, and this is overall so well written and honest. I think that this is something that a lot of cisgender straight people will never fully understand, but I hope they\'ll try.
It doesn\'t make me miss highschool, that\'s for sure.

a love letter to my mustache
Aislinn Wilson said:

Every time I search an LGBT term on this site, you seem to come up, but I can\'t complain. I\'m glad to see your poetry again. Though not that long ago, I feel like I got to see a piece that really illustrated your progression as a writer over time.

This is really beautiful, and as always so well written.
