Thank you so much. I’m delighted you got that! It’s always such a joy when someone sees what you’re hoping to get across.

Thank you! I wanted to use the image of snow completely changing a once familiar landscape as a metaphor for a navigating a brand new relationship, and then lean into it with the final haiku. I hope I achieved that. It’s hard with our own work to unsee what we already know (if you get my drift!)

Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you to say. I see a lot of brutalist poetry and I always feel a little as if my melancholy softer poetry doesn’t quite reach the oomph of other poets. I guess we’re all our own worst critics.
