It Resides in Me
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Katie, this is quietly heartbreaking and deeply beautiful. The tenderness between these two women feels so genuine and restrained that the ending lands with enormous emotional weight precisely because nothing is overstated. “Her words, her kindness / Will reside” stayed with me immediately. Gorgeous piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Katie, this carries both ache and grace through it beautifully. The poem moves through constriction, poverty, disbelief, and emotional fatigue, yet it never fully surrenders to despair. Instead, it keeps reaching toward softness, belonging, and abundance. I especially loved how the final stanza opens outward after all the heaviness before it...like breath finally returning to the body. Gorgeous write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nicely written story. Your story revolves around a nurse caring for a terminally ill patient. the moments shared between them, reflecting on aging, beauty, and the legacy of kindness that remains after one’s life has ended.

An excellent ode; my aunt is a nurse, now retired and she\'s the closest thing to Florence Nightingale in my experience. 🕊️🙏

I like the way your writting. Your poem explores the contrast between the imagined luxurious life within a grand home and the universal experience of coldness, both physical and emotional. It raises the question of whether wealth and comfort can shield one from life\'s basic discomforts.Well done.

Katie, “Spacious rooms / That swallow” is the turn that really got me here. Suddenly the grandeur no longer feels comforting…it feels consuming. Such a subtle shift, but it changes the emotional atmosphere of the entire poem. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Katie, what a sharp and quietly haunting poem this is. The starkness of the setting against the compulsive sensory overload works incredibly well...especially “Slots as bright as the risen sun.” There’s almost a liturgical rhythm to the machines and lights, yet underneath it all sits this aching pursuit of something just out of reach. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Gambling in one form or another part of life itself. Why states make it illegal while offering state lotteries and endorsing insurance (the big time gamble where one bets against oneself) A fun read Katie

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, Katie, what struck me most was the image of the grapes flooding the goblet and that same overflow coursing through the speaker. That metaphor carries abundance so naturally…not excess, but a kind of spiritual and emotional fullness. Wonderfully done, Katie. A fave for sure. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
