This is all the green that's left to us now, it seems! Guess that's the way of things. Interesting shots, this and your more spindly tree/branch you posted the other day. It's definitely cool to see all the detail in the moss like this.
I have a confession: I was the one who thought up the Lunar challenge, and I've been so excited to read the responses to it. Yours does not disappoint. This truly shines. I love the personification of the animals along with the moon, each part of nature claiming its distinctive role within the broader system. There's a magic to your moon, and she generously shares it with her forest friends through the touch of her light.
If there's one thing I feel I've missed out on in life, it's having a sister! It's clear you're not taking the love you share for granted. This is very sweet.
"Five Things..." is this week's featured written piece on vtdigger.org, up now in their Life & Culture section! Give it a read, here: vtdigger.org/life-culture
I think thats a really good habit to start now! Thanks for the reminder, I really need to remember that editing (or recycling) is a more sustainable option than the waste-bin.
"Time feels as if it began to stir" One of the most extraordinary lines i've read in a long time. Also, I feel like that is exactly what poetry is meant to do: wake time up.
This is so powerful to read as a queer person who also has gone through a period of gender discovery. Being raised as a girl only to wonder if you connect is such a raw and intense experience that you explained so well. I also came out at around the same age, and fitting the stereotype is so relatable. I think at such a time, labels became absolute instead of interpretation and personal use. Learning to express femininity is so profound to me, and I'm happy you shared your story. :)

This flowed with such a balanced ease, without a hitch! Creative take on the challenge, too. Lovely work. Welcome to YWP!

I also struggle with with titles so much! I want to find a balance between making sense and being creative; and I spend so much time deciding
Thank you!!!
