Thou Shalt Not Set Fire to a Nunnery
"You're going to have to help me move the body." Julie stood in the doorway to my room, which was a cell really, and she was as close to breathless as I'd ever seen her. She looked dashing in the moonlight, and lit up with the glow of adventure.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Oh, I love the contrasting sense I get between delicate and snapped, jagged edges here. So well done! :)
Excellent breakup Nonet… especially given that you weren’t keen on writing them.
Beautiful poem
This hit so hard as it was very relatable. Loved your Nonet!
Just dangling there, that ow.
Well done, especially as a companion poem to "knot for you". Beautiful.
This one pairs so well with "knot for you". I see what you mean, you really were on fire with these!!
Beautifully portrayed in words indeed!
I love seeeing this side of you Dharr. this is a ture and open as it gets.
Simply lovely, but sad.
Damn. I love your poems. I know it's not your favourite thing...but you are always so emotive and very authentic in your writing. This was just a hard read. Also, love the fancy formatting. Stunning entry, LC, seriously!
a/n:- Thank you for reading! This stands on its own, but it also ties in (ha!) to this other one, "String Theory", which is the first poem I posted on Vocal. Enjoy! https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/string-theory-wg1zh502h9%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
Sad but still beautiful.
