    Hi, and welcome to YWS!!! :D Here to review. I like this; it's very simple, but almost in an innocent way. It works well with the concept of a breakable ...

  • Poetry » General, General Re: breathing easy

    I like this; it's so harsh and cathartic. Only you could make something so gritty and raw sound so usual, I'm impressed/envious/amazed. While it's considerably short, I don't think that ...

  • Poetry » Narrative, General Re: Black Ice and Starry Skies

    This is written very well. I'm not sure how I feel about the excess punctuation, but other than that, this is pretty swell. I particularly like: "Two feet away and ...
