    Love the gentle feel of this,
    I am not usually keen on lines that are broken, let alone stanzas that are broken up, but this works here and helps with the flow and the dream like feeling of the whole piece.

    nicely done.
    attempted nomination.....I clicked the button at least.

      Thank you so much! c: I wasn't sure if the broken lines was too much, but I liked the way I read it in my head with it, so I kept it.

      Thank you, again! c:

    It's a pity this can't be nominated, such a beautiful poem. It seems to rise and fall with the rhythm of breath, packed full with tension and softness at the same time. I don't think I've ever seen enjambment done as effectively as you did. You're master of your pace, but whilst your sentences are fragmented, each line can very well stand on their own. While reading this I feel sucked into some sort of daze, such sereneness, such gentle sensuality.

    The only thing I wasn't so sure about was the "onceuponatime". It's nice to experiment with words like that but to me, when I see words sticking together, I tend to read it faster (maybe it's just me). It felt unnatural when put together with this rather slow, dreamy tone. But that's all. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this.
