give chase

to the

 

glittering lips

shine

with rebounding sound

drive

past the bounds of reason

for me,

your butterfly.

I was listening to Migikata no Chou for the first time in a while, and I managed to spin out some poetry.

Once agin I love the emotion you put in to your poems, most people think the more words there are the more emotion there will be but you prove that wrong. you put so much emotion in to your poems no matter how small they are.

Your spacing really draws out the emotion in this piece in just the right way. Each word is meaningfully placed making the poem more alluring. I find it rather interesting, good job!

I have no idea how its even remotely possible for a person to have so much emotion and beautiful imagery on one tiny poem......but you have done it! Well done, Amai. The logins are proud of you.

R-really? Thank you so much. I'm kind of amazed you like my simple poems this much... Thank you. Again. And I think maybe the sense it makes is worth different amounts to different people, so I do encourage you to find your own meaning in my poetry. Also, thank you.

The last time I read it I didn't quite understand it, but now that I've read it a few times this makes perfect sense. I don't even know how to explain how incredibly unique and beautiful I found this- definitely my favourite from you so far.
