Good use of the theme and very different from the usual submissions. I kinda wish I was able to still see the last line I picked. Reading through all options tend to get all of the options jumbled in my memory. The final poem I had was quite random as a result :D

Explanation (Optional)
The rope is both the physical challenge and the poetic structure, with knots acting as the verses that guide progression. Climbing becomes a metaphor for persistence and meaning, tying the theme directly into gameplay.
My gravity system got a bit wonky at the end, and climbing the rope will usually lead to reaching the top of the screen. Updates will hopefully fix this problem but the core loop works!
