A Nonet

Here is a small, strange, and telling thing:
I have always loved the airport.
My heart for the liminal,
and moments ungrounded -
this is at the root
of our distance.
Spurning roots,
I chose
flight

This is so beautifully crafted! Absolutely amazing work <3
Another beauty! Well done, once again.
I love how you ended your poem with flight! Using a metaphor with wings for running away from a relationship is clever, clever, clever! Echos of Free Bird!
My favourite I’ve seen so far for this challenge!! 🤍🫶🏻🌟
Oh, this is wonderful! A softer more subtle tone with beautiful airiness, but bearing a burden of sadness. Choice rarely comes without sacrifice and this captures that so stunningly! Another spellbinding piece, Gabriel!
I love how you worked with the syllable requirements to increase the momentum leading up to the word flight- the poem reads faster up to the last line.
This is beautifully crafted, suggestive and arresting. Liminality is alluring: dwelling always between is strange but safe! Nice work!
Damn, this is so good, Gabriel! I love especially this part "My heart for the liminal and moments ungrounded" But, really, it's an exquisite piece from start to finish. Well done!
