This is a clever idea! And you’ve executed it in a way that doesn’t detract from the meaning a traditional poem would convey. Your tone is very strong here!

Thank you so much! I appreciate the feedback as I found it challenging to honour the prompt while also trying to make it a good poem 😅 thanks so so much 🙏🏼

This is an awesome prompt!

And your piece was exquisite 👏🏽

I loved this line in particular:

“do i look older than i am, will i be warned before my last droplet of youth spills?”

Thank you so much for taking the time to read it 💗 I found the prompt to be difficult in a fun way haha - trying to avoid sounding repetitive or predictable when using only questions 😅 are you gonna give the prompt a whirl? so happy you liked it!

You're very welcome and I think I will!

It might be a bit before I do, and hopefully I don't forget, but it seems like a ton of fun!
