The Artistry you always seem to display is enviable. I so enjoy that you write and share on this platform. This is just stunning, I love how the magic is not lost despite the sadness and dealing with conflict and wars and the fallen. Just something beautiful and serene about it. Well done.

Praise for Amanda Starks
Amanda beautifully contrasts feelings of love and hate, care and despair, and lets us know with vivid imagery that she is the sum of all her feelings. I must have read every word at least ten times, drinking it in. Check out this stanza: “I am a culmination of all I have felt before, every tidal emotion and burning emptiness, made flesh by nature's will and power.” I get chills reading it. This poem is one you do not want to miss.
"Who are you to say I am too much?" - Kenny Penn on Substack
This was well written. It felt like an action-packed gallop from start to finish and when the coffin lid flew off I was like 'Aww yeah, let's go!". The final line really brings it together. If you choose to continue this one I bet it will grow into something awesome! Great job.
