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

I actually did not guess she was going to another state to get an abortion, but now you have said that I get it!

Thanks Bri!! The Jojo here is made up, but there's definitely a Loretta in my apartment building I used as partial inspiration.

In response to "She's Leaving Behind"

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.

In response to "She's Leaving Behind"

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!

In response to "So Tired"

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

And She Has Flown

She's better than me
and she knows it, with her
two solid wings and a
puffed-out chest.
Sitting in a nest of the finest
Norwegian wood, she's cast
a spell on me I can't quite
decipher or reconcile.
I flutter clumsily, wings
withered by time and
circumstances unkind
though she rarely takes pity
on my less-cultured frame.
I know what I know and
can't help myself but be awed;
yes, I'm flawed. She is my fault.
The nest I'm in bears no eggs
and my once-powerful chicken legs
barely balance me as I
gather myself to watch her
ascend. Soaring as if
to never land again.
It lights me afire and I
burn myself to comprehend
a way to make myself seen
as to be so admired like
she is by me but that's
when I smolder. Over
and out, no way I can show her
what my love's about from
this exquisite distance
in her Norwegian wood.
"Isn't it good?" Answer her,
I wish I could.
