I'm really struggling to write my college essay. I feel more pressure around it than any other thing I've written because it's more consequential, and a lot of my application is centered around arts and writing so I know colleges are going to be expecting a good essay from me. It's hard to strike a balance between the creative part and academic essay part. Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with the pressure or at least work through it?

The contrast between gold and lavender (white?) is delicious! Lovely shot.

This is so sweet (without being gooey)! I like that you make reference to familial and platonic love; it enhances what you're trying to communicate about romantic love. I wish you and your partner well!

I think I'm with you, I think I'd choose to be a fox as well! Such sly and mysterious creatures... When I picture them, it's dancing in the moonlight, too. "Wild life" vs. "wildlife" is a clever distinction.

Heart-warming and sweet. I only hope she knows your graciousness; if not, it is known in this poem. Great job :)

UGH, this is so gut-wrenchingly good. The shortness of the poem keeps from how beautifully you worded your thoughts. This perfectly describes how I also connect to nature and almost gives notes of childhood wonder (at least that's what I gained.) The fourth stanza is my favorite; even in the dying leaves, there is sweetness. Wonderful job!
