Funnel Cakes and all that jazz
For the breakup nonet challenge
Love so profound deserves a proper
trial and error. One I was
robbed of. The fraudulent
parts left me to trick my
own mind every time
a song or place
brings back the
scent of
you.

Previously, I published my first ever exclusive story on Vocal. If you’ve subscribed to my work, then you have access to it. Thank YOU for your support. I hope to make each read worth your while. So with that, I’ll be posting insights for exclusive readers only, such as a workshop on my craft. The hows and who’s of my stories. Pretty much revealing my secrets on how I write with you. So welcome fam, and let’s get started!

New Normal
There is always a moment — small, quiet, almost forgettable — when the spark stops being a warning and becomes a state. It never looks like a turning point from the outside. It’s not a dramatic shift. It’s not a cinematic beat. It’s a subtle internal click, a recalibration so slight that only someone who has lived this cycle as many times as I have would recognize it.

So sad for the memory of the scent of you. Lovely interpretation of the challenge
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was so freaking relatable! There are sooo many songs that I can't listen to anymore because it reminds me of him. Loved your poem!
Thank you!
Those last few lines contain such an ache! Great nonet and challenge entry, Natasha! I might be wrong but “deserve” may require an “s”
