Congrats and thanks for the link! That's very exciting to put yourself out there and be accepted for the world to enjoy. I love a good poem and find it inspiring to share the same space with other creatives.

I thoroughly enjoyed your poems. I enjoyed both for different reasons. I got a sense of restrained despair, if you will, from The Moors - but obviously that's just how I read into it. Twisters in Sequence was equal parts endearing and existential. For me, the passage of time expresses itself in many ways; I felt this poem painted a beautiful blend of solace and encumbrance in the emotions I gathered from your word choices and theme.

I believe that poems serve many purposes when read, for both reader and author, even if they're different from the author's intention. Thanks again for sharing and I'm looking forward to reading more from you. Well done!

Excellent observations. You could definitely do this (comment on poetry) for a living.
