UnSplash / Maria Victoria Heredia Reyes
Fingers feeling face,
folds from forehead,
forged from frustration.
Frown following from fight;
frightened.
Forgiveness follows from fear.
Freedom from feeling, freedom from facial features.

Outstanding!
Wow, I am impressed!! You followed the prompt so well - it wasn’t forced at all. Very fine work!
This is done so well! Hard to find the words to say exactly how good it is!
Oh wow, that was really emotional. I loved how you expressed so much in so few words and how it flowed so naturally. Beautiful work :)
This was very deep and profound! I loved it so much!
Oh wow Jess. This not only makes sense, but is clever and has a deep emotional punch. Well done!
