Oh, I love this so much :D It's so descriptive, but kind of poetically vague at the same time. It makes for an interesting effect. :)

Thanks! I was trying to think of what young childhood was like and decided to just thrust it out in one big jumble. XD

How wonderful. Your use of imagery is quite lovely.

Oh, I love the descriptions here, and that every paragraph ends with a look at his sister. "Prince of the tree-towns" is an excellent phrase and just right for the image of him playing in the trees as a child. So sad, though. It sounds like he grew up way too fast.

I think it happens pretty much to everyone-- unfortunately! I'm glad you liked it. :)

Thank you very much! I don't think I've ever written something like this before.

Oh, brilliant, very Dylan Thomas. Very smart choice of imagery here, especially in the last paragraph, but generally just lovely and well-chosen imagery. Great job.

He was a super gifted poet, I tried to really get some of his confidence in how he plays with words. Thanks! :)
