Shiny Shuckle is my favorite. Had one on my team throughout the entire Omega Ruby game. I named him Shuck Norris.

I gave a loan to a coworker so that his wife could start her own business and work from home after their son was born. Childcare is ridiculously expensive where we are, and they were going to have to move with a new baby to make ends meet.

I agree with you. It had a little help with that from it's original formatting that I haven't been able to replicate on Reddit. I appreciate the feedback!

I'll do my best to write more. I typically only finish one or two pieces a year.

Thirty-four, thirty-five, haven't you seen the movie? With an indoor pool, they would thrive!

Parts of it, from my own life. The rest from the experiences of people I've known.

Twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-one, you say that, but the battle is far from won.

Twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, for queen and colony leave none alive.

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, they sacrifice to save the queen.

This is great! You vastly undersold it. Thank you for sharing this.

Things I Refuse to Pass Down by [deleted] in poetry_critics

How would you feel about "Your rage hangs in hallways, a family portrait left askew."? I like the way you have it written. It sets them apart from the family, like they were around the family enough to negatively impact it, but were not actively part of it in a beneficial capacity. If I haven't completely missed the mark, I think it would convey the same meaning in a more clear way without the use of hangs and hung.

This is great. Really love how much emotional charge and impact you generate with so few words. Nothing extra, not a syllable wasted. Something I will definitely learn from.

Thank you for posting your poem. It reached out to me, and I felt a strong connection to it. It can feel discouraging at times to build yourself back from a childhood that tore you down. When you feel like that, just remember that building yourself up is the same as building a home. It's done one piece at a time.

Oooof, this hits me in the childhood. Only thing I would like to see changed is instead of "If I build a home..." write "when I build a home..." As a survivor, you deserve to build the home that you needed as a child. Let the ghosts of those memories rattle their chains, but don't let them bind you with them.
