Hi chem! Thought I'd stop by and check out your thread c:
the text i never sent (until you respond)
I like the voice in this one, especially in the opening lines. It really feels contemporary but while still making it feel natural to the poem. I also like the line "when glitter is stardust again". I kind of view "stardust" in this poem as being the "tragedy" of the past - more intense than glitter but perhaps more real? I don't know, that's just how I interpreted it on the first read.

I like the last lines in particular, this observation of the wider world, how it's often the people we spend time with that makes places worthwhile.
The emojis leave a nice visual touch to each poem as well. Happy NaPo and keep poeting!
