Ooh! I feel this one in my bones. You turn feelings into ink and breath into longing. The emotions ache and claw to be set free. Keep them coming. 🙏❤️

C.J., the diction in your poem manages to be both rich and austere.

Hello Bob. Considering what I’ve always thought austere means (stern, unfeeling, or harsh), I don’t know whether you like the poem or you hate it.

Oh well. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my poem.

I liked the poem very much, and meant that your poem achieved depth through natural, straightforward use of language that shunned artifice. Here's part of a definition for austere:

markedly simple or unadorned

//an austere office

//an austere style of writing
