Ooh, I do wonder... did Peter come away from the experience with something of a life lesson? Did this magical fox impart some kind of wisdom on him perhaps, during their telepathic communications?
I'm happy to see you writing, because this is wonderful! I hear your words crisply, very enunciated, in my head, and I can tell you chose them with deliberation. Perfect spoken word piece.
It's funny -- the trees are all bare, yet this photo is still colorful and alive. The poem, too. I have my own little spot in the woods like this. So quaint!
So deeply observant! With an artist's eye and an open heart, you absorb your surroundings and will others to explore the natural world with you. The final line is filled with sadness – "If only we could ebb and flow, not be pitted against each other in ownership, and work with the land" – but in the context of this powerful poem it is also a call for humans to wake up, observe, and as you say, "truly see the beauty out there." Thank you for helping us see it, Ice Blink!
Of course! I’m glad you liked it! People are Gay and a lot of people really aren’t accepting of the LGBTQIA+ community as you would prob know if your in it, I mean that’s how I know due to all the hate I’ve gotten. I’m so glad you loved this!
yes Yes YEs YES YESS! No amount of thank you’s can sum up how much the world needs more of what you just said. It is true and yes world. People are gay! I’m proud to say I’m also lgbtqia+ so it means so much to see other people out there like me or who support people like me :) Way to go for speaking out!!! **hugs*

Thank you so much! It means a lot for the feedback and for the kind opinions on my writing and art!
Have an amazing day!
Your first stanza immediately set itself to a tune in my head... wish I could remember where it's from! You're right, these are all minor problems when you take a step back, and I've stomped my feet over almost every one of them at some point. Always good to keep things in perspective.

The tone of this piece is so soft and quietly reflective, almost like a journal entry. That pensive quality always serves a writer well -- try to stay in touch with it, even when writing about fictional characters.

One Hundred Years of Solitude has sat unread on my bookshelf for two or three years now, and formerly had about ten books ahead of it... but you've convinced me to move it to the top of the list. These are awesome, thank you for sharing!

Yes... well-said! The word "pro-life" feels entirely misleading when it's used by someone who doesn't support gun control to keep already-born children safe in school, or by someone who doesn't care about the physical/mental health of the person carrying a fetus, etc., etc. You've made perfect sense out of the word.

I have been having so many thoughts about this. i am so heartbroken and infuriated but i know that i am not alone. i am thankful that i live in a state where for now i can still get an abortion, but that’s still not enough. every single person with a uterus should be able to make their own choice safely.

Thank you so much! I took some medicine and I'm feeling a lot better, but I'm still not 100%.

YES THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! It's all so so true and you've just so amazingly put into words all the things that are too often forgotten.
