Release worries.
So much poetry in our slicing community inspiring us all. Today I’m considering Alice Nine’s pitchforks in a very lean way. I’m also considering Claire Landrigan’s post about worry.

Reflections from a Coach 
Yes, some slices we read are so inspiring, so memorable. The repetition in your poem works beautifully.
Now I’m worried!! Your craft worked .. . although I was feeling hopeful by the last stanza. Worry is a tough emotion for sure. Hang in there.

I love your first stanza – moisturizing, conditioning, worries. I loved how effectively they created an image in my mind. I love the leanness of this poem and how by the end the tone has changed. And l love the picture you chose for it. Thanks for all of it!
Love your poem. Inspirations can lead to wonderful places.
So good. Amazing how even with brevity, you accomplished a major shift in tone. After I read the entire poem, I read just the last line in each stanza; together they are the challenge, like inhaling and exhaling deeply three times. And thanks for the mention; I’m honored.
Pitchforks, especially in the condensed form you created, sound like wordplay that I can get behind!
You are the master. 🙏🏻
Nice!
