Raven

Wrote a single line comparing grief to a house with the furniture rearranged, still the best thing I've ever written and I know I'll probably never top it

Always_David72

Wrote a line comparing a broken relationship to a garden someone forgot to water on purpose, still holds up on rereads years later in a way most of my other work doesn't
Still figuring it all out

BretHart_Mike

A single line about a childhood home smelling like someone else's life now still feels honest every time I reread the poem it came from

DrewMcIntyre08

Wrote a comparison between insomnia and a house with all the lights left on, small line but it's the one thing from that whole collection I'd defend without hesitation

GameChanger

A line comparing distance in a relationship to two rooms with the same address still feels true years after the actual relationship it described ended

CosmicRay65

Wrote a comparison between forgiveness and repainting over a water stain, knowing it'll probably show through again eventually, still the sharpest thing I think I've ever managed to say in four lines

RightNutter

Wrote a single metaphor about aging as a house slowly losing rooms it doesn't need anymore, holds up better on rereads than almost anything else I've written
I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong ;)

PhantomProcess32

A line comparing silence after an argument to snow that hasn't decided whether to stick still feels exactly right every time I come back to it
