i loved you at your darkest

I hope you don’t mind but I just wanted to say that ‘to those who wait’ means so much to me right now - and probably will for a long time.

You’re amazing, thank you.

(Mind if I private message you?)

I’m sorry this has been sitting in my inbox for a week! I haven’t been on, as classes have recently started for me again.

It depends on the type of poem you need to write, but if it’s free verse, I’d recommend forgetting about the poem aspect at first and just write what you’d like to write about.

For example, if the prompt is “summer”, then maybe you’d write something like “it would be cool to talk about how the temperature of the air changes so subtly and then all at once. I also like that I have new memories from the summer. But when I think of those memories, I feel sad. I like that I can go out to the ocean whenever I want.”

Then, you could alter that into “The air changes from warm to cold so quietly / but when it finally does change, it goes all at once / My memories are golden, but I can’t afford the price when September comes / The ocean knows me so well by the end of the day.”
