That hit hard. I totally remember feeling a similar thing when I was your age. I wont lie and say that despite the changes in my life fall has stayed the same, but even when you are on your own, you can still make space to participate in your childhood rituals. Maybe writing poems about them is one of those ways :)
"And all that is left is not even our own memories." that last line especially when taken in conjunction with the first is really intriguing! Its definitely making me think. Is the "green paint" a memory of nature? Is the ivy reclaiming even that?
Oo, that's a good one! I'll have to try it sometime. :)
Your work inspires me, I'm unbelievably proud that you enjoy the rest of our work!

"The apple disposes of its disguise, much like a caterpillar leaving the comfort of its silky cocoon"
I love this poem so much.

"Droplets flop like a panting salmon" What a line! This whole poem is full to bursting with such textured imagery!

Thank you!
Thank you :) the wording is a bit clunky I know, but I'm glad I got the emotions across!
you did a really good job blending!
