Damn, outta votes. Hope someone nominates this.

Well hell.

I'm glad a had a vote left.

This is just stunning. Brilliant. Beautiful.

Can't stop reading this, I really cant narrow down my favourite stanza from this, they're all perfect, picturesque, and can definitely stand as a poem on their own.

This really is a beautifully written and delicate piece of work. Wonderful.

All the very best and congratulations on the win.

Such beauty

Now this is a poem, That final stanza is mind blowing to me. Take the word 'we' and repeat it 4 times throw in 'were' 3 times in a stanza of only 11 words and make it work. Not only does it work it leaves a lasting impression. Every stanza has me thinking, each beautifully crafted. It makes me think that the poem had twice as many words originally and the poet took her chisel and hammered the unnecessary ones away. I love the layout and the whole thought inducing tone of this piece. Very well written. 10 points.
