Hello, darlings. I am Val. She/her. I am an ally of the earth and all her people. I also happen to be a follower of jesus. I am a poet and an author and a girl that dreams. I am a minor between the ages of 14 and 18. I am no longer active on Hello Poetry, but you can find me there under the same pen name I use here.

Your Poem's Voice
Personal romantic moment with philosophical undertone about imagination and self-deception.
Three distinct ideas spread sparsely across few lines; meditative pacing.
Ostensibly romantic but undermined by sarcastic final line; melancholic overall.
Quiet, restrained voice; minimal kinetic intensity; contemplative rather than explosive.
Only three lines; micro-length poem.
Irony and implied metaphor (imagination as delusion) but restrained ornamentation overall.
Internal lyric voice with self-aware introspection; minimal dramatic distance.
