Notes About The Poem

fly away

Peter had to fly,
was that just last night?
I have attachment issues.
I hate saying goodbye
- it always makes me cry
an embarrassing tear or two.

Holidays go so fast
relativity’s been proven at last!
Fourteen days of leisure
of sordid intertwined pleasures
on days free of study pressures.

This morning i was in despair
splayed out on an uncomfortable chair
with tangled, unbrushed hair
wearing faded PowerPuff underwear
bored, and wishing Peter was there.

Dear Anais, You artistically captured the bittersweet essence of farewells and the longing for moments frozen in time. Through whimsical imagery and candid emotion, you express the struggle of letting go and the yearning for permanence in fleeting joys. I loved that it's a relatable reflection on the transient nature of time and the deep-seated desire for connection. -Blessings, Daniel

I shortened the poem - got red of the mom & step parts - I decided I hated it. *shrug* I suppose I AM the series lead =]
