I also went to my first concert recently as well! It's interesting to see how similar music lyrics and poetry are, and most songs read like poetry. Sometimes I sing my poems to myself to establish a rhythm and imagine them as songs.
Ha! More "short and stubborn" than "short and sweet." There have been many times in my life I've felt this way, wanting to run to the trees, away from a source of pain. Love this!
Such a flowing, natural use of personification. I felt I could really SEE Time throughout the seasons, interacting with and within the weather. There are some bittersweet notes in this piece that really resonated with me, too. How we all wish time would slow down, if just for an hour, a day, a season...
This made my head spin a little, but only in the best way. Your language is spacy-dreamy yet descriptive, and you've really captured those expansive thoughts that can drift or slam in, depending on the day, that we are mere specks, so small. They are not necessarily dark thoughts at all, but can be dizzying.
This is such an awesome way to challenge yourself, and shows off a true range of skill. The styles you chose are especially whimsical together (and the character most of all, of course).

It’s so amazing how you included so many of her songs in a way that flowed like any other poem! You have inspired me(:

This is nuts, a true bug's perspective! The "hairs" on that one piece of grass on the left are so sharp and in-focus, that's my favorite detail.
