Spoiler! :
Don't tell the other poets I said this -- but poem #1 may be my favorite of all the poems I've read so far. I can connect to it so much, as an overachiever and perfectionist who is also learning to love the process of growth. My favorite lines were "But I'm trying to get used to stumbling // into new days, and falling in love // with the freshness of first drafts and birds // still learning to fly; straining wings against // the sky". It captured that emotion that I just described -- learning to love the process of growth -- so well in a succinct and imagery-packed format. Extremely well done!
Aside from that, the single description of "worn-out conversations" stuck out to me as a perfect description of what it feels like to be so comfortably in love with someone that you speak of the same things over and over again because you love talking to them. It's something I can connect with and captured that idea so well.
Keep up the great work!
