I like how these poems are pretty much recollections/memories. I am inspired to write something like this, partially to express myself and partially to test my memory; I struggle with my memory. Very nice for your first finished writing project! My favorites were As Small as a Muffin and In the Trunk of the Car. If you want to check out my work, I'd appreciate feedback as well :)
“…it feels like something stupid to cry about but I’ve been learning as of late that,/when mourning someone,/when the little things do get to you it can be a reminder of the love you once felt.”
i liked all of the poems, but these lines made me think about people i’ve lost/people i’ve had to leave and all the times i’ve seen something small/“stupid” and wanted to tell that person about it/remembered some fragment of a memory. it’s good!
"A Tiny Box Full Of Letters To The Past" by rainingoutside4 aka Birthday Valerianella (twitter). This was their first writing project ever which was very exciting to me. Encouraging first-time writers is EXACTLY what I was hoping to do. It's full of 7 poems and an intentionally blank page covering "How small things, sometimes things I can't even see, trip me up on a day to day basis. Musings for the past." I have a very visual memory, since mine is entirely photographic (which doesn't mean perfect!) and find I remember strange little 'trinket aspects' about others I interact with, even if I forget what they had in their calendar sometimes. This chapbook feels like a lot of those little hyper-specific moments and memories that I remember constantly myself. I appreciate when other people write those. I think they make palpable stories to me, and that when you translate them to film they make it such a powerful medium.
These are awesome! The last one especially hit me, in a good way of course :)
