Heya @Spearmint! Since you left so many lovely comments on my wall, I thought I'd repay your kindness <3 All of your poems are so fun to read and your voice really captures the little moments well, especially in "doubts" and "gravity". Also your line "maybe gravity / is what keeps me / from fa[i](l)ling" is such a good description of why some people never put themselves out there, and I love how contradictory it is to say "gravity keeps me from falling" and yet the analogy still holds true ^-^
Your most recent poem, "looking up", really struck me for it's imagery. I could totally see myself looking at muddy footsteps on the ground compared to the "poets in the clouds", and I loved how you painted the picture of "they alternate between / staring into space and / scribbling madly on / perfectly crinkled paper". I feel like it also marks the way some poets can become so absorbed in poetry that they loose touch with reality, and they can no longer communicate with people regularly.
Also "words are more like / that sticky crust of ketchup / around the bottle’s rim" yes!!! And I agree, titles would fit better at the ends of poems ;))
