I wasn't sure what KINTSUGI was so I looked it up, actually I have heard of the concept but I did not know that was the word. A good analogy to use in your poem
Thanks so much for the kind words, Jenny! Yeah, it's set in the American south, where states are trying to ban abortions and make it a crime to travel to another state to get one. This activity has been a lot of fun.
I love this Version of "She's leaving Home" - When I was a kid my Mum used to play the Sgt Pepper album and I loved this one, I like the way you have set it in America (Greyhound?) To make it a bit different. It tells a story and flows well. You have written some great poems for this competition!
Well, I know a herbal remedy or two...or some physical activity
that might do, might do.
Hugs and chin up.
We of the great order of wokeness will win in the end.
Just ait, around the bend,
even those Repubs bubs will see
throught the orange hate and glee
I've got a feeling,
old as time. Perhaps older.
Not one that sits like a stone
in the bottom of your stomach,
or one that wafts through your mind
as a distressing smoke signal.
This is more omniscient,
though I don't know it yet.
A tingling reality.
A trope of darkness.
A hard year of sunshine.
A good time for moisture.
Yet it remains cold to me;
for all I know I'll be happy to be wrong.
The feeling, a flinch
that causes me to flinch.
It runs deep, covered by
a high sock on the foot put down.
I'll know it when I see it,
when I see you
in all that I was looking for.
