Wow!
Title is tight
The shape is perfect.
The curve,
broken disoriented, lower case i
hanging s, broken balloons
And it’s not too much
I really think this is masterfully done.
Wow, cool poem. My ex-husband used to get abducted by aliens all the time but he never made it to AA.
The form makes this so fun to read and definitely works for the content! Well done!
One of my favs from you <3
i was rotting in bed too hard to write a real poem 🔥🔥🔥
This was a lot of fun. I can see your creativity scheming.
Your creativity shines in this poem. The curving form would have been enough, but the way you break up words throughout is the extra touch that really makes this stand out. Great work!
especially love the enjambed words “s / obered” and “bal / loons”
Captures the experience with shape and stream of consciousness!
Agree with all. The shape is on point. And looks like an “alien” abduction, on top of that.
Loving how you use rhyme
Great title and great look on the page/screen.
