This is a wonderful portrayal of grief 🙏🥺

Thank you so much! 🙏

I love the refrain “I give you my grief.” It’s really powerful. Beautiful imagery 💫

Thank you! That's such lovely feedback

‘Its jagged edge is an echo’ is brilliant - you’ve taken that rough grief & made it ring, reverberate. This is gorgeously stark writing that ends in something like grace. #KeepWriting #PoemsAbout #Saltwater

This is marvellously complex and vivid Caitlin, the analogy of grief with water. This is a sharp and visceral portrayal of loss.

Thank you so much! 🙏

I can see the echoes of Duffy but this is beautifully restrained, grief rendered with clarity and weight.

caitlinkendall83.bsky.social•29 days ago

Thank you so much that's so kind!

This is all so good but that penultimate verse snags most for me. Such imagery, it’s unsettling- in a good way!

caitlinkendall83.bsky.social•29 days ago

Oh thank you! It's always so nice to hear which parts resonate and why 🙏

hool415.bsky.social•29 days ago

You write really well. 🙌

This is so poignant. How do you ever recover to move forward? 😑

caitlinkendall83.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yeah it's so difficult isn't it - more manageable with time but it never really heals 😞

poetryman1.bsky.social•28 days ago

Absolutely!😑

Powerful! This is painful yet constrained within its tight form.

caitlinkendall83.bsky.social•29 days ago

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that 🙏
