ahh what a wierd poem Nora yet very good at
the same time. Your unique style of poetry
consistently reminds me of e.e. cu mmings. I
hope you are doing well as I have not talked
to you in along while. Thanks for sharing this.

Becky did tell me that she was leaving YPDC I can’t believe it was her time already, her talent and artistry will be surely missed.

Nora, you did a great here. You’re poems are unusual yet they’re good in a poetic way. You have your own style and I like it.

This was beautiful with heart felt words and feelings in them, your style and structure are astounding and well used, a great read if I do say so myself (sorry if this seems rude but I dont know who Becky is but I am sure that she knows these feelings are sent to her.) Be well.

Beautiful, Nora.
I never really got to know Becky or you very well, but... I could always feel the friendship. Even on the screen it radiated something.
Anyway, hope you'll both be okay.

Love and peace,

Chelsea

Wow, this poem is really really beautiful, and it makes me sad that I'm not really a part of your life anymore and I don't know what it's really referring to specifically. I've thought about you a lot lately... I miss you even though we haven't talked in a while... forgive me? I love you -Zanna
