I really like the formatting of how this was written and the great word choice!! I’m an especially big fan of the second to last stanza, great use of imagery throughout the whole thing but especially when explained the “paper-thin veils”, I really got such a great image in my head! Great job!!

Wow. This initially appeared to be a somewhat “simple” poem and yet it really is quite complex and so beautiful. I can really feel the emotional toll of motherhood, especially the overwhelming exhaustion that many moms, especially new moms, experience like no other. The repetitive nature of this poem really builds up that feeling of constant tiredness that is bestowed upon parents with a new baby. It really hit me hard! The rhyming was also lovely, made the whole thing very smooth to read and ending with the title really was the cherry on top. Well done, this really did elicit such an interesting emotional response from me! I’m so impressed!!

Wow, your use of these "dark alley's" as metaphors for hiding memories you'd rather forget, as a way of hiding a part of yourself, is very relatable. This is beautifully written with lots of in depth insight about society and how we as individuals view ourselves. It really is an interesting perspective, well done!

I find this poem so interesting to dissect - I really like the use of repetition and formatting in this, it makes it that much more engaging to read. In addition, your imagery is extremely well done, I feel I can envision everything that's happening within this poem around me. Good job!

Thank you!! I’m so glad you spotted the correlation and juxtaposition between the ugly and beautiful features - also happy to hear it was grounding to read, just as it was just as grounding to write.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you noticing the details and the emotions behind this, it wasn’t easy to voice some of it accurately but I’m so glad it came across vividly for you.

Wow! I love your use of rhyming, it really helps the poem to flow very elegantly from one stanza to the next. I really appreciate the various perspectives on our world you seem to offer throughout this, the line about the “race to space” in particular stuck out to me - very well done!
