I love starting with an opening line and having it mean one thing, than by the end you repeat the last line but it has a whole knew meaning! It's not easy but so fun to figure out
Originally I was on a writing site called storybird in middle school because my friends had accounts and wrote a tone of poems on there! Then the website decided to start charging monthly fees and I quite the site lol. Eventually found YWP thro a teacher
Such an interesting and dark retelling! You give persephone so much more agency in a story which normally lends her very little. Also, your prose is very effective. Vivid. The atmosphere you created with definitely stay with me.
Thank you! When I wrote that I was thinking of autumn trees at golden hour and how they look so alive as the suns shines on them. They are brought to life through an illumination so bright its almost painful.
This is lovely, thank you! I do pay a lot of attention to how I format my poems and the words I use. With the "arteries" I was trying to draw a comparison between the human body and the body of a tree. I placed the "hangs off" at the end of the line like that because I enjoy when the visual matches the words. I'm glad the details paid off and you like it!

The gemstones are so pretty!!
Thanks! I took it from behind the closed window of a car in front of a front porch light, so that’s the light.
This is beautiful! How did you take the picture? How did you get the yellow glow?
