I once made a woven bracelet just like this, one I didn't take off for years until it broke. It got me through some hard times (with the help of the quote I had lettered on it). Weird how we develop such strong attachments to "things," but especially when it's something you make, it can hold such a special place in your heart and feel so comfortingly familiar -- like an inanimate friend. You chose the perfect "witness" to your life to write about!
There's a sense of balance in your words, the short lines with the occasional lengthier ones, that reflects the theme of your poem well! I think we have all known a person like this in our lives: someone we're instantly and inexplicably drawn to, yet who appears distant, unreachable, too unlike ourselves for us to feel like we can make a true connection with them.
This is such a wonderful background for the boy from the challenge! Because the boy rushes past "you," I read this like someone was there on the sidewalk, imagining the life of this boy, sending him well wishes on his quest to be noticed, to be seen. And I could relate to him, too -- I was very much on the same journey when I was a kid. Lovely work.
For a while it was Keefe, but that type of character is super overused in books (I’ve noticed most of the characters in the series are), s0 probably Silveny or Iggy.
I love Keeper of the Lost Cities! (To the point that I have 2 posters in my room from the series, haha.) It was recommended to me a few years ago by a friend/friends. There’s definitely a lot of books and the plot can be slow at some points but I definitely recommend the series to people!
Rereading a favorite childhood book cheers me up, if it's still not TOO "babyish", haha. I also like watching my favorite TV shows/movies, How To Train Your Dragon, just for the fun of it - I know I'm probably too old to still love that series as much as I do, but it's really comforting. Does that make sense?

Of course!! I post a lot of my poems here on YWP if you wanted to see some of them!!

Me too. I tried rereading them like fifty times but eventually got bored (there IS such a thing as too much Keeper)!
I agree with that (and I have posters too...lol)! Who's your favorite character?

Yes I love this book series. But I am sa at by the time the next book comes out I have forgotten what was going on in the plot
