Thank you! Apologies that I did not see this until now. I likewise enjoyed your poem, The Towels. Those first three lines are incredible. Your work--from what little I've had the pleasure of reading--is possessed of a wonderful restraint

This one needs to be twice as long. Will revise

Revised version of this piece. Reorganized the end to avoid some syntactical repetition. I think this is its final form

I'm really, really happy with this one

New poem. I really like the language here. I'm eh on the pacing, but I'm happy with it overall. I've felt powerless lately, with everything going on. Needed to channel that

Hot off the press. I am obsessed with moths but don't have nearly enough poems about them

Trying to decide if it's good enough to try and publish. The more I read it the less I like it, but that's also true of every poem I've ever written

Here's another new poem. I feel pretty good about the language. I think the sounds come together nicely, and I like how it ends. No clue what I'm going to do with it lol

New video game poem! This one is going to be the final piece of the collection I'm working on. I'm really, really proud of it

Feels a little "gay-tinted glasses" in hindsight. I need to write another version of this with more texture and complexity, methinks

This is an older poem that won runner-up in @wwph.bsky.social 's 2023 (?) Pride Poetry contest. It'll be republished in their 100th edition as well! First poem that I was ever paid for :)
