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
You share like a toddler;
as in, you don't.
It's impossible to be a whole
when one half refuses
to play nice and
do their part.
If that's your way
of saying you're
frightened of me leaving,
you're weaving a fictitious fable
in your arrogantly
troubled mind. All day,
it's what I hear when you
feign affection.
Everyone sees through it.
Your kisses stain
more bitter than the wine
you spilled on me when
I last tried to say goodbye.
I'm no longer willing
to call your bluff. I'm
taking what's mine
and rebuilding my ego
without the aid of your
far-sighted petulance.
I should've done so years ago.
