Hi Bec!! Thanks 😁😁 I also loved yours! The idea is so great, but the execution - chefs kiss - . I feel like I think in words and feel in colours (this may make me sound crazy😂) but I re read your poem three times because it felt so good to read. I felt the imagery. The past, the present and the future in warm shades of orange.

Thank you so much, Jessica! I really loved your poem, too—especially those last lines about wings scattering the ashes.

Great collection. I appreciate the theme of motherhood and how tiring it is but rewarding - such an encouraging reminder.

My favorite poems were “After School” and “I’m not going to lie to you”.

And to the last poem, my response is… I hope we can feel free to “feel the rush of need” and reach out to one another soon, and not have to wait for 100 thousand years. 💗

Thanks for the great work, y’all.

Loved all these!! Especially The one about where's my village and the turtles in cages - so short but powerful visual
