    "How does the burnt forest love to trust the sun again?"
    Beautiful imagery laced throughout, and this one of burning is especially effective as it goes from the boy being a match burning her skin to the boy being a sun burning her entirety.

      Poetic Journey this line stood out to me in a big way also but I had a totally different interpretation. I love hearing another point of view on it. I took it as the forest knowing it’s always trusted the sun and needs the sun to live but after it’s been burned so badly, the heat/fire from it makes the forest weary of blindly trusting it again

    " if the boy will love the girl and burn the body, she will build a home up north of the ash, and pretend she is not cold..." Absolutely beautiful 💜

      @TCt83067695 Před 4 měsíci

      I don't get this.
      Up north of the ash is bound to be warm. If it's up north, it's also closer to the sun so it can't be colder up there.
      It sounded beautiful but I'm not seeing the logic yet.

    This poem totally relates to me right now in my life, because there's this girl that likes me and she mostly only says she loves physical things about me. The only time she's recovered to my personality is when she says I have this sort beautiful voice that is always saying rude things about my friends.

      No, you don't get it. You don't get that stuff like this happens every single day. What you wrote was both sexist and stupid, you do not understand stuff like sexual assault, which mainly happens to women, so don't tell ANYONE to shut up and talk about something else, like romance, because the only person who should shut up is you.
      Have a wonderful day,

    If you don’t want to be objectified, then cover yourself in modesty. Why do you think women have for the past thousand years... y’all women are just going backward while you think going frontward is by exposing yourselves. There is a solution to every problem, however, y’all find a problem to very solution.
