To make a meaningful poem, write about feelings you’ve actually experienced, so it feels real and relatable. Use simple words that paint a clear picture, like describing emotions through things people can imagine. Don’t over explain something, and leave a little mystery so readers can connect it to their own lives.
There is so much distinct, dark, chaotic emotion displayed here, yet it all overlaps and intertwines together perfectly as a whole and creates amazing richness. The colors, the detail you included (those plaid pants--!), the smudging technique and scribbly style, they all work.
Sunsets are endlessly inspirational, and so too is the night sky, as you said! Looking up at the stars, discussing life, makes for a decidedly sweet and tranquil moment between characters. I like the simplicity of this scene.
By the way, I think "envelop" might be the word you're looking for ("elope" means to get spontaneously hitched).
I've never attended to a sick loved one in a hospital waiting room, yet I felt that I was there, experiencing that anxious anticipation alongside you. There is a sparseness to this piece that works to its advantage, adding to the "sterility" you describe.
yess!! i loved radio silence and all of alice oseman's books!!
Thank you!
PS I want the system to involve animals.

Thanks for the recommendation! I think I liked one for the murphys better than the war that saved my life.
