Well, this is freaking gorgeous. I'm so glad you shared it. This feels like way more than you're giving it credit for.

I suppose I know what I want it to be, and this isn’t anywhere near it, but maybe that’s a different poem altogether.

I like this a lot Tamsin - clever idea and quite mystical in a woolly sort of way. Have you tried removing some of the "ands" / "ans" ? It might make it even more magical. Sorry you're feeling rubbish - well done for wrtiing!

Yes it needs a lot of revision, I'd also like the pattern notes to actually make something.

Oh that would be amazing - a physical manifestation of the poem! Honestly I think it's a really good piece - such an innovative idea.

Sorry to hear you're in a crash at the moment, hope it passes quickly, despite the brain fog your poem is great, much more than I can manage mid fog!!!

I credit the Lions Mane tablets, without them I’m just nothing. Barely a neuron fires. And thank you, it needs lots of work still, it doesn’t fit my vision of it yet.
