Cramps + mystery disease literally forced me to leave my first in-person church service (don't worry it's legal) today. >:(

Wow, I relate to this. I didn't know cramps could be described so beautifully!!

Really realistic—I love how you are willing to bring up something so many people deal with—I'm not one of them; luckily my body is very non-hormonal, or else I just psych myself out of feeling bad—but this is really relatable and you have such a way of making feel poetic!

Okay, thank you:)

You did a great job of describing the pain. Keep it up. You're a great poet.

Replying: Yep! I have no problem with the quoting at my house, since it's just my family, but in public it makes me uncomfortable because I wonder if other people are annoyed and just aren't saying anything :)

Replying: It doesn't bother ME exactly (I'm used to it) but it was like EVERY LINE and we were with other people so it was more embarrassing than anything. I am a prequoter too and I would quote the main lines, but my dad knew like every single one. Kinda impressive, actually :)

This portrays having cramps very realistically and the use of enjambment further enhances it! Great job. :)

Totally agree with jo! When you can write something so amazing about CRAMPS, I salute you, general! And the formatting! "capsules of expectations" and "womanhood is taxing" are just stunning! <3

Oh god, I relate to this too much. Period cramps are terrible, but let's get through them together.

I agree with sunny.v 'womanhood is taxing' is such an incredible line!<3
