Ever wonder how it feels to be
hit by a bus? My heart sure knows.
It broke. You were the driver.
You promise a new ride,
a safer ride. But
I’m already
waiting for
the next
bus.

Oh wow, what an excellent use of imagery! the 'hit' of the heartbreak bus!
Oooo! You have hit your stride with these nonets and I'm loving it!! Great work Cathy!!
You're really hitting them out of the park for this challenge, my friend! I'm feeling completely outclassed over here.
Excellent nonet, Cathy! Really strong anchoring imagery!
Very nice Cathy. Cuts straight to the heart.
Wow! Incredible writing as always, Cathy.
Clever, as always ❤️
Nice parallel! 👍 🚌
I think this is my favourite one so far!
And sometimes they throw us under the bus before hitting us! Loved your nonetheless!
Oh liked your impressive work Cathy.
Amazing piece, my friend! It's always too little, too late :(
Impressive and creative, my friend!!!💕❤️❤️
What an excellent piece!! The structure perfectly dramatizes those last lines: "...waiting for the next bus." Tragic, and awesome.
Wonderful poetic analogy for the challenge
Love the metaphor in this!!!
