Description an ocean
is only as in-
surmountable
as your eyes
can carry me

sunrises
like kisses
or twilight in-
habit, stay

the horizon
obscured,
blinks in-
tense, shy
or wilt away

irises nest
like bruises
or irises in-
bloom.

This captures a very difficult subject very well. I'll be honest: I don't often like the hyphens mid-word. Here, you use them to good advantage, tying the piece together beautifully well. Congratulations on the well-deserved DD. :

I'm not a fan either, they break any sort of rhythm you could possibly establish. That said, they are quite useful for breaking established rhythm and, hopefully, creating a schism that can be used to show a moment through the medium of a poem.

thank you so much <3

thank you,Β Jenene, your kindness has floored me for, what... 8 or so years now? even the sun is jealous of your consistent warmth and brightness you bring to the literature community here, I think.
