I love your take on this challenge! "Oh, but it now has seen enough moons // Everything, however beautiful, must end." Ahh, haunting but lovely! I suppose all beauty in the natural world is evanescent, isn't it? Something fall does a good job of reminding us of. Art, poetry, at least, are everlasting...
That's awesome! YWP is a great start and one of the best places to keep all your amazing writing in one spot. I'd also check out the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. It's a huge contest but worth submitting your stuff to and you can earn some accolades. Also, look for opportunities to submit to literary magazines and local poetry contests like Fainting Goat said!
I would love to listen to Skin and Bones by Morgan St Jean for the first time again. the first time kind of had this magicness to it and even though I still love the song the first time was really something.
Hi! I’m also a freshman, and have been trying to do the same thing.
One thing you could do would be to submit pieces to your school’s school magazine (assuming your school has one). Another thing would be to submit stuff to, like, contests and stuff, which is what I’ve been doing. It’s not a guarantee that anything’ll get published, because you’re vying for the spot amongst a bunch of other people, but it’s certainly a place to start. If any of this is helpful, or if you need any other ideas, feel free to let me know. :)
I would love to listen to West Coast by Lana Del Rey for the first time again. The chorus feels very original and evokes so many specific images and stories. Whenever I listen to it I'm always waiting for the chorus. I would enjoy being surprised by that part of the song again instead of anticipating it.

I do the same! Lots of times I don't analyze or edit my poems. There's no right or wrong way to do it, which is part of the fun of poetry!

Hi, I just wanna say this is not anything that I have experienced and no one I know has experienced. It is completely imaginary. Thanks! :)
That's exactly how I feel when I write poetry.
thank you so much for your suggestion is greatly appreciated :) Do you have any particular contests you like entering?
