A caoimhe is a type of charm that you can make out of bird feathers, twigs and twine.

1. Lay out three twigs in a triangular shape.
2. Lay the ends of the feathers at each intersection and tie the twigs and the feathers together tightly, tight enough to break it.
3. Pour all your grief into it.
4. A shell is sometimes used for the head, for example, fish.
5. You might be tempted to use the chick that you watched bleed to death living room floor whose screams woke you up at five in the morning after the cat dragged it in, but that didn’t have any feathers yet.
7. Step three didn’t work for me.
8. Bury the charm somewhere safe for a week.
9. Think every day about how you plan to dig it up again you just need the time and energy for it.
10. How has it been ten years.
11. Wow I came across your poem and it really grabbed my attention. It felt so powerful and I think it really deserves to be brought to life as a visual novel like comic. Imagine it really coming to love in a way readers can actually feel. ………………………………………………………………………………… Get back to me and we can talk about adapting your work into a manga style.
