The Eternal Quest for Answers
Anna Wakey29 said:
I love this - I love the rhythm, the message, the authenticity that reverberated throughout. I love when people try to present an idea of how the universe works or has been working through the medium of poetry. Very effective.
If I had one small critique, it would be to maybe change the alignment as at present the centre alignment makes most of the lines overspill, and it (honestly this may just be me) needs re-reading, interrupting the flow. Again, very nitpicky - I loved the poem
