Changes championing champagne
New life new world new pain
One day at a time
Unfurled

We're both so lucky and blessed to be here and be doing well. He weighed 4 lbs 110z at birth and went down to 3 lbs and 4 oz in nicu, but today on the 21st day of his life he weighs 5lbs 5.4oz. And I even feel like writing again :3

dearly yours,  M.

Hello there, TheLostMandore. In the name of the Knights of the Green Room and our Most Sacred and Tireless Quest to ensure that no works go unreviewed in the realm of the Literary Area, here I have come to free your long unreviewed piece from its state of reviewlessness on this fine Review Day. I hope you don’t mind. :3

This is a year late, but congratulations on your baby.

With that said, baby news + poem makes this piece a lot more joyous in hindsight than when I first read it. While the alliteration in the first line is impressive, it's also a bit of a hurdle to overcome for readers to break down and understand, and the second line doesn't make itself very accessible either with the lack of punctuation.

With that said though, what you have here is really good, especially considering how brief it is. I actually was hoping your author's note was part of the poem because the poem was so short and so good, and it left me wanting more.

I do think you could add more onto this and develop it a bit. Ending at the "unfurled" just leaves so much promise that is left unfulfilled, which is a bit disappointing.

So, if you ever decide to develop this further, let me know. I'd love to see.





fun fact i hear my evil twin once wrote a story about a hacker who used the name fyshi33k bc there are 33k-ish species of fish and she liked phishing so fyshi-33k made sense but then she got super embarrassed when someone forced her to explain
