Your aesthetics are GORGEOUS (with capital letters) and your themes of death / new life / bodies mixed together. I'm also enjoying all the concrete imagery that doubles with symbolism. I think that "April Spring" is one of my faves so far. <33 You are a FABULOUS (more capital letters) poet Euphory, and really enjoying your NaPo so far. :)

Here are the poems I'm obsessed with in this thread since the last time I checked in:

#5 OOFF
#6: "i store my dreams in my rotting teeth,
do you store them in the balls of your feet?"
April Spring: I love the image of washing dishes in relation to spring. SO good.


Keep up the amazing work, as you can see I love *all* your poems. You're doing a really great job crafting some incredible poems here. Love it!
