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 probably lived three or four
varied lifetimes
in almost fifty years.
Opportunities and letdowns;
wins, losses, and ties.
Having had the chance to see
many different cities,
I find the place I prefer
to visit the most
is inside me. It's where
I mark my growth, like
drawing a line on a door frame
to record a child's height
on their birthday.
I see my friends and lovers,
foes and co-workers,
and the memories greet me
unsolicited but mostly welcome.
An extraordinary life
packed into me, an
unassuming
and otherwise regular guy.
My gratefulness cannot
be quantified, but I
most certainly
wouldn't want to chart them
in measurables.
I just know when these feelings
overtake my worries and
insecurities,
they're your way of telling me
"I love you more"
and in that moment
so do I.
