Posted on Sun, 06 Sep 2015
This is very moving, Terry – and it 'moves' well! I take it it's metaphor after metaphor to show the distress, the emptiness, the tragedy of the feeling of hopelessness at losing her. And that certainly comes over, and especially with the...

Interesting comment on a hard day. You are one able to make the best of inactivity and even pain with observations and imaginative thought. This reminded me of that Poetry Monthly about windows. Your views out, and the trains of thought...

There is a lot of lovely metaphor again here, maybe rather concentrated for taking it all in? The chorus is lovely and I liked Enticing the sun into scything the night, starry-eyed very much.
