We still have 53 days left of autumn thankfully. I get bummed out that the fall is rushed through bc of the corporations pushing Christmas. The only thing I can do is ignore it and go outside to see that yes, it's not winter yet. Winters used to be hard on me until I embraced them as necessary and started to enjoy what it represents. This year will be the coldest winter I have ever experienced in my 55 years of life and I am praying for massive amounts of snow. I hope I will never become a snowbird and will always lean into hardcore winters. We shall see come springtime if I can handle Montana winters. 😆
Absolutely your best yet! I’ve always favored content over construct but I have to mention this; the rhythm and flow, the meter, of this piece is awesome. This is what I strive for in my own writing. It reminds me of the kind of rap I love, best exemplified by Eminem, the easy pace and the return to refrain. Brava!!! 💖

Hi Lauran, so good to know you are still around! 💖
Yah! Not goin' anywhere (that I'm aware of). 😸
Something really wonderful about leaning into hardcore winters, isn’t there?
Absolutely

I love all the tactile details and shimmering imagery in this piece!
Even a non- native english speaking person like me can feel that's great poetry:
"like a quilt Grandma Time is about to spread over you
a weighted blanket,
the kind you can’t easily kick off"
We have the same impression here in north germany, as same as a bottle of coca cola
