I really enjoyed this poem, one thing that really stuck out to me was the line "That I was ink and glue and wax but mostly, I was made of papercuts" This concept is really cool to me and you phrased it so perfectly, I could feel myself becoming fully immersed in this poem during that line. I noticed how you ended every line with the same word twice, this made me very happy because it felt nice to read and it was a strong choice that added so much to your already amazing poem. This poem is so special and the ending words make it stand out all the more. This is a stunning poem, the choices of the words are so clear and inspiring!
I really enjoyed this poem, especially the first few lines, it set the tone of the poem very well. I also find it very cool how each first line of each section creates its own poem. you do an amazing job making it relatable and understandable well making it beautiful and so complex at the same time.
This is a beautiful poem connecting the ancient Samhain to modern Halloween! As someone learning about paganism, it means a lot to see the holidays talked about.
I enjoyed this so much! As someone who loves the moon, I absolutely love the way you compared human beings to the moon! You did an amazing job on this poem!

Hi Amelia, great poem! I especially love the lines "creating stories, out of lines, created with my own two hands" It gives the feeling of the idea of art being tangible, instead of the finished project, which is really cool to me. The idea that a dream can be taken by a machine is scary and I feel that this poem sends that message very well. You end on a very strong last line "pretending it can be a human." Oftentimes times when we think about AI we think of robots taking over jobs but we don't relate it to imitating humans and that idea is scary but true. very nice work on this poem, keep it up!

My favorite technique in poetry is rhyming, metaphors, and similes!
Thank you! I love paganism, and wanted to share some information of Samhain & the origins of Halloween! :)
