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
Sometimes something
catches my eye
and refuses to leave me alone.
In my thoughts it's
the opposite of intrusive,
random, and/or nagging.
It's a call I'd die to answer;
a song with no end.
But I can't. I can't.
It remains locked in a box
just out of reach and
always taunting me, tenderly.
And my eyes, they fill
with a brine of wonder
and stuttering sighs.
This thought knows. She knows.
I believe, and how,
and I don't want to leave,
but I don't know how.
