This is my attempt at interpreting the poem as interactive fiction and how it feels for me to read. Hope you like it!

A retelling of a poem in twine, July 8, 2025

This IF is structurally similar to Twenty Four, in that it is a linear IF which reveals lines of a poem with each click. The choices here are important words in the poem, highlighted to place emphasis on the important parts. Or at least, that’s how I read it. It’s a beautiful poem, revealed with each click, and the game description also provides a link to a video of the author reading it.

Wild Geese appears to be a poem by the late American poet Mary Oliver. I’m unsure of the poem’s current copyright status, and I’m guessing that it was used with permission to be included in the Neo Twiny Jam. It’s not specified exactly.
