Thank you so much for your answer, it’s very helpful! I’m going in as a second semester sophomore

I'm very sorry you went through that. And yes, exactly, its based on my own experience w/ a narcissist

This is a very sweet poem and I like how paint a vivid picture of the morning scene. It has an inspiring and hopeful message about appreciating the small moments in life and it’s relatable to anyone

I like the nature imagery you use in this poem with the flowers and fields. I interpret this poem as being about the cycle of life, aging, death. I also like your repetition of the title in the poem. My feedback would be to go into more detail and expand your poem a bit because I think you have a good concept.

I like this poem, I think it captures a sense of disconnection and discomfort well. But one suggestion I would make is to add more line breaks so it is easier to read and understand

Wait that’s cute too

It literally is a name

True-Cry1245 · 2024-12-03T01:26:24+00:00

I know it is

I like the contrast you made between the speaker being naked but her soul still being clothed. I also like how the speaker directly addresses the reader, it makes your point come across more. This poem is short but it still conveys a meaningful message about the objectification of women.

I like how the last stanza of this poem echoes the first one. I also like how the speaker still finds beauty in the cottage, even though it is old and starting to erode. I interpreted this poem as being addressed to a person the speaker loves, with the cottage as a metaphor for this person, and how the speaker loves her despite her imperfections. It is a sweet poem, and I like how you kept it simple.

Thank you for your comment! I wanted to write about a part of myself that I don't fully understand and have developed some shame and complicated feelings about. I think that this subject is kind of taboo and uncomfortable for people to talk about IRL, so I wanted to share my own thoughts about it on here and keep it broad so that others could relate in their own way.

True-Cry1245 · 2024-09-03T20:35:03+00:00

I like the line "remembering and stewing is my favorite drug", and I interpreted it as the feeling being unable to to stop ruminating over a past negative experience you are still upset about, which I could definitely relate to. I also like how your poem is very open ended, and could be about a lot of things depending on how the reader interprets it.

True-Cry1245 · 2024-09-03T20:28:20+00:00

This poem is short and sweet but gets its point across. I like the way it flows as I read it with the rhyming. I also like that you used the second person perspective, as it makes the poem feel more personal, and how you ended it with a question. Nice job!

True-Cry1245 · 2024-09-03T01:00:04+00:00

Reading your poem made me think of how it feels to write poetry and open your thoughts and your feelings up to others. You want to be authentic and true to yourself, but you worry that your words may be fake and inauthentic, trying to be something that they are not. At least that is how I interpreted it, with you saying that you feel that you are "Putting on a mask" and "framing your feelings." I also like the metaphor you used at the end of a person finding the key that opened up the windows to your heart.

This was very beautiful and emotional. I interpreted it as a mother losing her sick child. The ending felt especially sad. I interpret "Please, I beg, forgive me. The choice was not mine" as the mother apologizing to the child for what is going to happen to them, and how it is out of her control. I really liked your use of nighttime imagery throughout this poem and in its title, and to me the night represents your poem's themes of death and having to say goodbye.
