July 8th is probably one of my favourite poems I've seen from you guys - so, so very powerful and I adore the direction in which you took the prompt. also love the format of march 25th!

thank you so much, ryo. that means a lot to me - i am very glad my words resonated with you. - shades

I love haikus! I really like how you interpreted the prompt, it's a very unique concept and you put it very well - I can almost hear a clock ticking faintly in the distance. really like it!

this is great, thank you so much for sharing. i like how it has a twist despite being so concise. it's powerful. - shades

thank you!! yes I always try to challenge myself to end a haiku with a new meaning/twist

ryo, this is beautiful and very potent. it gives me the impression of an ancient message carved into stone, lost to eternity and found millennia later. - shades

beautifully written, and horribly gut-wrenching. your writing is always extremely impressive, and I can only wish you the absolute best for all the life you do get to live - thank you for choosing to spend a little bit of that time sharing your art with us, truly.

Thankfully, I get more than ten years to live if this diagnosis gets confirmed. I just won't be able to work or live independently for as long as I'd hoped for.

your writing is so beautiful and moving, and absolutely devastating. the hope that runs through it is so powerful despite how terrible the circumstances are. please keep that hope alive, and stay safe. thank you for sharing your writing! - j

The part where you're looking up at your body at thinking it isn't you yet it's still responsible for much of what you experience in life is very relatable and saddening to me as someone with chronic illnesses. Thanks for sharing and I hope you keep doing your best with the body you've got.

really sorry for your loss. I appreciate you writing about the transition period where the wound is healing but the scar is still staring back, I think you did it and your pet justice. hope you're okay!

i'm really sorry for your loss! as ryo said, your writing conveys that transitive grieving period very well, and i'm tearing up from reading it. please take care of yourself! - j

thank you for sharing this, I can really feel the imprint that your grandmother left in that space - I don't think the departed's spaces could ever not be theirs anymore, and I believe you put that into words beautifully. hope you're doing well!

i can definitely relate to this one, and i hope you're doing alright! your writing is very sincere and bittersweet, so thank you so much for sharing it! - j
