Countdown of a Breakup
By Gerard DiLeoPublished about a month ago • Updated about a month ago • 1 min read
When Fibonacci strikes!
There are nine reasons we must end it
Your eight tentacles suck me dry
Seven deadly sins kill me
Sex numbers our false love
Five-fingered countdown
Foresight fails us
Two to one
Zero
Null

Wow!
Great piece/entry!! Loved this line particularly, “Your eight tentacles suck me dry”. 👍😊
Gorgeous writing! An honest, beautifully-constructed tragedy! Well-deserved Top Story. You have a new subscriber. Love the idea of living in a decommissioned church but for the moment for me an apartment in a decommissioned boys school will have to do! Well done!
Signed sealed and delivered! That's exactly what this poem says to me... Awesome!
