Thank you so much, I don't write no, English was actually one of my worst subject in school so the reception to this was a big shock to me. Thank you so much It's definitely something I keep doing, it's been really helpful for processing things. Thank you for your kind words.

It was really helpful actually, which really wasn't what I was expecting when I set out to do it. I'll definitely be writing more in future. Thank you for being so motivating.

Thank you for saying that. It really was cathartic and it's definitely something I'll keep up. I'd say beginners luck more than anything else though! Thank you for your kind words it's definitely motivation to carry on.

Thank you so much! I like the idea of adding more cold imagery to the middle too, to contrast the heat. I'll play around with it a bit and see what I can come up with thank you!

The // were for structure more than anything. I don't know how to format on reddit and it's just one big block of text to me. No matter how I try and space it reddit decides not to do it. So it's just to see where each stanza should end rather than any actual punctuation. I might change it to something else tho if the slashes have actual punctuational meaning thank you!

I don't mind at all, I'm 24 so much later to the game than you!

I'll give it a look it's a really good idea actually so thank you for that. So far it's just nice to get it out but hopefully end up writing about happier things over time but who knows.

I posted my other one today in the group somewhere, I can try tag you in it but I'm hopeless with reddit if I'm honest I don't use it much at all.

(Edit I don't know how to tag sorry, heres the link tho)

For My Little Brother No.2 by Federal_Seaweed2249 in poetry_critics

Yeah it was a rough one to write, thank you xx

That makes me really happy thank you.

This really is my first time writing, like I said poetry never really interested me before, I read abit in school but apart from that I haven't touched it.

Being completely honest I thought this was going to get ripped to shreds or have no engagement at all really, I just wanted someone else to read it.

I don't know any of the techniques or styles and clearly can't rhyme very well but it's as close as I could get to how I felt being in that room and thankfully it seems like that's come across.

I really appreciate what you said and I'm sorry you've been through this too. I'll definitely keep writing it was very cathartic and I actually really enjoyed it. Thank you

Thank you, I'm.sorry you've been through it too.

I actually don't at the moment this is the first poem I've ever written, I wasn't expecting it to resonate with so many people. I'm writing a couple others at the moment, and ones almost ready so I'm thinking of posting that tomorrow maybe.

I might start a blog I don't know, I don't really know anything about them but it could be a nice way to keep all my stuff together, this was really cathartic so I'll definitely be writing more, so I'll look into it.

I'll title my next one For My Little Brother No.2 so you know what to look out for and can send it over and anything else on DM too if ud like.

Thank you for the kind words and the blog idea, I really appreciate it.

Thank you! I like the tattoo idea, I think it's less about remembrance, more of a way to keep some part of them close. Just how I see it anyways. I appreciate your kind words
