Broken Bird
Breakup Nonet Challenge
Poor broken bird, let me fix your wings
because I cannot fix myself
and you chose to love me back,
self esteems entangled,
codependency;
you fly away
taking my
love with
you

Choose Your Own Adventure: St Helena Station
*****Preface***** I have been obsessed with Choose Your Own Adventure stories since I was a kid. I credit them with my love of reading and writing. I've been struggling to get my own kids to embrace words the same way I have but they love video games and our occasional Dungeon's and Dragon's game... which gave me an idea. I'll write an interactive story. So far its working; my middle son loves it and can't wait for the next section to come out.

Sweet yet sad imagery in your nonet.
So fascinating piece
Oooh, I love the extended metaphor here! Also, I really like how the use of punctuation ends after the fifth line. It makes for a really interesting tonal change. Great piece!
Sad, vivid imagery 💔
so sad, reminds me of a time. ....
awwww, visually sad, I see the bird flying away with the broken heart…
