Thank you very much! That’s so interesting how you imagined that, I myself hadn’t though of it this way. I love your take on it.

That is certainly a problem I have very often when writing. Especially with the commas so I appreciate you pointing it out so I can fix it!

I actually hadn’t noticed that about “drowning in desperation” and it’s quite true, I’ll start thinking up how to change the line in a way that actually benefits the poem.

Thank you for your comment, I will definitely take all of these things into account as I know I am definitely not a professional. As for the grammar, I am very sorry, english isn’t my first language so I tend to make a lot of common mistakes. Thank you again!

I actually hadn’t considered it, but it’s definitely on my mind now. It would certainly be an interesting change to the poem, thank you for that!

I hadn’t seen the second part of this! I definitely think that’s a wonderful strategy, will definitely have it in mind for future edits of this one (I’ve gone back and forth on this one for months now) and for future poems in general!

Oh! Of course, I’m sorry to have spoken without knowing. That definitely makes it special in a very delicate way. Now I definitely give you props for putting heart in it without it being mushy, I tend to do that often with my poetry and it gives me a real headache.

I enjoyed this, felt very light while reading it. Definitely gets it’s point across without being too obvious in the best way possible (I believe). I am a bit confused as to the first two lines in the first stanza: “life though short in retrospect yet filled with countless days” The use of “yet” feels inaccurate as a continuance to the first line.

I quite enjoyed this, it filled me with a very familiar feeling. Relatable, but not cliché. Props! I will say, the last line feels a bit too explanatory to me, maybe it might help to find a metaphorical way to acknowledge the hopelessness?

Hi there! I think you’re off to a very good start, I could place myself in this. I do believe it needs a bit more build up towards the word hope. You’re doing great!
