Broken!


"You are an automaton!" She said.
"No, mom," I said. She shook her head.
She thinks I don't feel the pain;
that a broken promise,
means nothing to me.
She does not know,
I regret
hurting
her.


This poem is written in Nonet style. The previous week's kyrielle is still under process.

Automaton: used in similes and comparisons to refer to a person who seems to act in a mechanical or unemotional way.

  1. Very nice nonet! I love the way it drills down to the point. The last four lines in particular are very well structured for this poetry form - the way the line breaks emphasize the words, I mean.
