should've known better

Oooh what an intriguing way to start!! I’m excited to see where this goes. I especially love the phrase “fragment of forever.” It’s simple yet oddly complex when you take time to digest it. Nicely done!!

Hi Nadya!

This is such an interesting thread!

you are a daughter of love
> I like how much this one contrasts with the other poems you've written so far, and I think it's because it's from the mother's perspective.
> The pink flower is a really nice touch - it seems very elegant and positive in contrast to the more negative emotions that come up in other poems, so it makes me wonder what the mother is not seeing or leaving out of her words, if that makes sense.

educate me on what it means
> I liked these lines in particular:

what does it mean to be in love,
when love always leaves me here, waiting?

I like how this poem connects to all the themes in other poems too, like with the daughter being "forever" from the mother's letter.

like painted flowers
> Ooh, the metaphor in this one is really neat! Most people would prefer fresh, real flowers, but the thing here is living flowers die away fast - so the speaker's preference for a painted image of flowers which she can keep is such a good way to convey how she wants someone to be there for her in a more stable way.

Keep writing, you're doing awesome!

Hey Lim!
I'm so glad that you've commented! XD I'm happy you like the poems.

You've got it right - the first poem is from the mother's perspective.
As for the second one, that was one purpose, I'm glad you noticed it!
Yeahhh! I love the last one too. Until now, its probably my favourite!

Thank you so much for stopping by @Liminality !
