I really like this, it reflects on something I went through

This is my favorite of all your poems thus far because it is so different in its feel. I can tell that you cared about your Grandmother from your words. And this poem hints the strongest at your ability to not just express but to harness the expression of your feelings.

Combine the ability to harness and express emotions with the ability to harness and express one's poetic voice and BAM, you have magic. Now, more then ever, I believe that the more original your approach to your poems, the more you'll get out of them. An example of what I am talking about is something I've tried several times. That is taking something familiar, like pain or snow, and changing how you describe it completely. Why can't snow be calming and comforting and beautiful? Or why can't light be painful and searing? Is there a rule saying a beautiful meadow couldn't kill us with the scent of flowers? The more you start thinking and crafting outside the existing interpretations of images and symbols in literature and poetry, the more you will be able to harness them.

Oh honey. I loved it.
