I usually write stories that are not directly about me, or my feelings,
But someone told me it's good for your soul.
I'm leaving home, not today, not tomorrow.
But I'm leaving for a long time.
Moving to Australia, for quite some time.
I guess I just wanted to share how I feel.

I love how you write LM. I love your prose and and I love your poetry. The mixed emotions came through really strongly and I feel actually very excited for you. What an adventure! I love these lines:
But some things were just, not bad nor were they good,
They were the way that they were, just as they should,
Very emotive writing LM. Your rhyming style is spot on the way you use the language to show us a story and make us feel the emotions makes it so much better! Brilliant! :)

I'm glad you liked that line, I was very happy with it as well.
The back and forth called up many times of relocation...the push-pull of it; the thrill and trepidation. I liked this especially:
At first he felt heavy, and then his steps grew light,
Nothing lasts forever, not even the loneliest of nights,
All that he loved, all that he knew,
The place he was born, the place where he grew
This put me right in the ambivalence. Well done!
All the best on your adventure in Australia!
Thank you!

At least you're not a filthy creationist.... I like your lion picture. The poem goes quite nice with it.

Ah, I read your author's note first, and caught early glimpses into the soul of your poem. How powerful the vision of rising, journeying into the wildlands, seeking a home even in the place so far from your homeland. It has become a theme for me, this notion of seeking, of reaching for the soul's home, so I could relate so well. May your adventure give you such strength, such hope, such boundless freedom.

Your regards are more then welcome, and definetly appreciated.
Thank you, friend.
First, congratulations on the upcoming move, although there are clearly some mixed feelings, it still seems to be an overall positive thing.
I really enjoy start to play with or break down the structure a bit, heading in a new direction.
This is a fresh take on coming of age, stretching wings, without the clichés.
I would encourage you to consider one less "would" in this line:
"A home he would find, eventually he would"
Maybe something like: a home was his to find, eventually he would.

No problem. We can become word blind to our own work, I think!
I like writing, I suppose.
English is not my native tongue, I picked it up at school and mostly improved it through computers.
In my early 20's and would appreciate thoughtful and impactful review.. more..
