Nonet
Countdown of a Breakup
When Fibonacci strikes!
There are nine reasons we must end it
Your eight tentacles suck me dry
Seven deadly sins kill me
Sex numbers our false love
Five-fingered countdown
Foresight fails us
Two to one
Zero
Null

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

Wow!
Great piece/entry!! Loved this line particularly, “Your eight tentacles suck me dry”. 👍😊
Gorgeous writing! An honest, beautifully-constructed tragedy! Well-deserved Top Story. You have a new subscriber. Love the idea of living in a decommissioned church but for the moment for me an apartment in a decommissioned boys school will have to do! Well done!
Signed sealed and delivered! That's exactly what this poem says to me... Awesome!
What a brilliantly composed countdown! Congrats on the Top Story, this is such a well-constructed, tragic poem.
