I love this poem and it is very relatable. I feel closest to the part when you said "Because I just need to say what I think, but it's two am, and when I wake up, my writing won't be that good after all." These lines have a lot of power behind them because it is true for a ton of people that when they write something so late at night they will be proud but then they look at it the next day with a new view and perspective and they hate it. for some, part of their revising technique is writing and then coming back the next day and adjusting what they did not like instead of deleting everything. This poem is beautiful and many people can relate to this.
Eeek! Were you aiming to draw your own mind, or mine? Really though, I think a lot of people can relate to this depiction of both chaos and complexity. The doodly style you chose also matches the theme so well!
This is all the green that's left to us now, it seems! Guess that's the way of things. Interesting shots, this and your more spindly tree/branch you posted the other day. It's definitely cool to see all the detail in the moss like this.
I have a confession: I was the one who thought up the Lunar challenge, and I've been so excited to read the responses to it. Yours does not disappoint. This truly shines. I love the personification of the animals along with the moon, each part of nature claiming its distinctive role within the broader system. There's a magic to your moon, and she generously shares it with her forest friends through the touch of her light.
If there's one thing I feel I've missed out on in life, it's having a sister! It's clear you're not taking the love you share for granted. This is very sweet.

Thank you so much for letting me know, it means a lot to hear that.
Thank you so much!
Thank you! I’ve been trying to take more photos lately (as I’m impatiently waiting for the snow) and the moss caught my eye!

This flowed with such a balanced ease, without a hitch! Creative take on the challenge, too. Lovely work. Welcome to YWP!
