Young Writers Society

2017

Writing has been a bit of a challenge lately. However, I've been doing a bunch of things this year and I really like the person I've been working hard to shape, so an attempt couldn't possibly hurt me more than giving up in the long term. Forgive the awkward poeting!

Welcome back to YWS, hexglass! I missed seeing your poetry around, especially because I loved reading your NaPo in 2017.

Now, let's talk poetry. I love the first but there's definitely room for improvement and polish--not that the poem's bad in any way, but I believe you can do even better than that. The image of the stars circling each other like hungry wolves in the third poem is vivid, too.

Keep up the poetry, all in all, and thanks for the feels your poems made me feel.

I love all of these There's so much richness in the imagery and sounds crafted here, I can spend all day.

Waiting I think is my favorite, just because that line "did you remember how to live?" resonated with the stillness of the piece. Plus, lacuna of witchery is just <3
