Your point about the struggles of sidekicks being more intense or just plain worse is super true! Personally, when I'm writing and don't have a ton of experience with a struggle but I still want to have diversity in the experiences of my characters, I will give the struggle to one of the side characters, though I often think about if it's better to have more mostly good representation for certain struggles, or less really good representation. (Sorry that was a bit of rambling), but anyways, I really like this piece!
Ha, well I don't care what kind of flower it is, it's stunning just the same! Even the stem pops somehow, which seems impossible: lime green against lime green. The gradation of color in the background is very pleasing to the eye.
Yes, I hope that you do! This piece touches on the darkness -- it doesn't shy away from it -- but it ends on such a positive note, with such an appreciation for the beauty in life. I can't wait to see how the others play with these themes as well.
"So simple a concept yet so complex in its effects..." Spot-on. Some ways we grow to miss people and honor their memories are very specific to them, but some things are universal -- like that feeling of your house losing the status of "home," without that special person to occupy it with you -- and it's the latter you build upon in this piece. I find this all so relatable, when it comes to loss.

Thank you!
I love this poem, especially as a purple lover! :)
Ah that felt just like fall to me! It had that warm cozy glow fall brings.
Thank you!

Wow, you can see every last little hair and whisker! Amazing attention to detail!

Whatever it is that's ailing your soul, you're obviously stronger than you know! Keep fighting on, keep writing about it!
