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

The Ritual of Winter Challenge Winners
Welcome to the Winners Announcement for The Ritual of Winter challenge. This prompt focused on winter rituals and the meaning that settles into them over time. The top pieces stay grounded in ordinary acts and repeated routines, letting winter shape the work through pace, attention, and restraint.

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…
