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! (You got an exclamation point.)
I really like the green shaded one!
The colors of the popsicle are so good, and the color of your nails is honestly so perfect with them to!
I also wrote a six-poem collection to go with this poem, should I add it to YWP as well?
