There's a seasonal ambiguity in this piece that made me pause and return to it for another look. It almost adds an element of unreality, this combination of lush green, dead flowers, and actively transitioning red leaves. Neat effect.
The smattering of stars are shining so brightly and distinctly, little pinpricks of light! This instantly gives me that silent, shadowy, melancholy "night feeling," which is something I can't find a way to rephrase.
This theme, of leaving a message for the aliens, strikes a definitive chord in me (I once wrote a piece called "To the Aliens Employing Their Best Cryptologists" about a pair of sisters who bury a time capsule for ETs to read one day). I think thinking about humanity on a broader scale, and about our place within the universe, offers an interesting opportunity for reflection on the way we treat ourselves, others, and the world we live on. Really lovely work.
Eek, it is here! And the daffodils popping through the snow have been such a sight these past couple weeks, I love that detail! Thank you for sharing this.
I agree with everything that you say in this Poem and it’s not fair that we have so many expectations put on us, and the bar is far to high for us. I think that you capture all of that in this poem!
Hey guys — wanted to say that though this poem comes off as a relationship kind of poem it’s really more about losing control over your thoughts late at night and how you believe irrational things when you aren’t rested than it’s about anything based in reality. Hope you like it though, I was really happy with the rhyme scheme!
