Excellent poetry 🌹🌟🌟🌟 I subscribed to you please add me too💙💙💙
Loved this poem! Your characters had me wrapped up in memories of my grandmother, whom I adored. Thank you for bringing me along with you. And congratulations on the win!
A bit late to the party but wanted to congratulate you on your win! Your attention to detail, to imagery, brought your nonkom to life beautifully. I also loved the humour— ‘But I seen her chase a griz in her mocs, bangin' on a trash can lid’ and it’s contrast with the previous lines, was clever and had me chuckling. Well done you 🥳
Kudos! Keep excelling in your work—congratulations!
gorgeous work! Congratulations!!
Congratulations! ~ This work is a beautiful and touching way to remember and honor your grandmother.❤️
I absolutely love this one and feel that your first place is well deserved. Don't we all need grandmothers like this!

This is so evocative, such richness. Congratulations.
I feel gutted after this. Such a vulnerable read. I really really love your writing style, the imagery you chose to include in this poem, the way you grouped the lines in each stanza. It's so so gorgeous. ❤️
