"How to End a Story" is this week's featured written piece on vtdigger.org, up now in their Life & Culture section! Everyone can check it out now, here: vtdigger.org/life-culture
"To stand at a fork staring down the road less traveled is to face risk, danger, the terror of the unknown – or is it? Does it not sometimes instead represent something more akin to adventure, a welcome departure from the safety and comfort of the familiar, an open mind to new possibilities? This week’s featured poet, Isaac Jones of Rutland, seeks creative inspiration in an alternate route home, and happily stumbles upon just what he’s looking for."
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.
Thank you so much for your suggestion!! <3

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!
