On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.

So, so beautiful and meaningful, in so few words! I love the idea of tracks being fallen ladders ❤️
I LOVE "tracks are just fallen ladders". It's a brilliant line. I can't wait to see how this renga turns out!
Love the alliteration and "streaking scenery" is such a great way to describe train travel and that last line? So optimistic it makes me want to go somewhere!
Whoaaaaa that second line was so freaking deep!
Really well done. Tracks are just fallen ladders, is absolutely brilliant! Loved it just like it is!
Beautiful wordsmithing! :)
Ooh, fallen ladders, nice.
