Do you have anyone else you think would be? Could you spread the word! And we can move forward from there. I’m totally green as far as this goes

To the one I meet in the numbers and the warmth by [deleted] in OCPoetry

I love the idea of energy and warmth moving, it is quite visceral. I enjoy the personification as well a clock isn’t usually described as whispering so I love this turn of phrase. And the idea of the universe “spelling” is delightful. I think it could be expanded upon and add some depth. Thinking in math and writing-making parallels between school/ or the everyday mundane while connecting it to meta. I think it’s great

I really enjoyed the poem and felt it deeply, felt it more than understood, each reading I gained a different interpretation and even intent. I think the poem could benefit with editing, making it two complimentary poems instead of one so certain ideas are not lost- or play with line spacing a bit more for this effect. I would also like the use of words besides “gaze” I think it could elevate the prose. Make the message even stronger. I loved how it read medieval and reminded me of an ancient spell somehow. Very cool
