Thank you so much! To be honest, I felt like someone was telling me the story as I was writing it and that I didn't know what was happening until it did.
I love that you've kept certain characters you've created and reimagined them as adults. It must be so cool to watch them grow up, once you complete a piece like this and take a step back and compare them to older works!
This poem really tells a complete story, while leaving so much up to the imagination at the same time. I like that -- when readers get to fill in a few of those details themselves. It was exciting to read of each new photograph, see what you had in store, how this girl's life story was going to play out. I especially loved your specific descriptions of people and places, like the lady at the camera shop, and details like the "tiny, rich-people sips." Made me laugh!
I love the line "Some people are simply rags; soaking up everyone’s water in an attempt to find their own;" Sometimes I find myself consuming other peoples words, art, music in order to better understand life and find my own truths.
Yeah it is, thank you for the kind words :)
