Thank you so much, Jody. I'm glad the images resonated with your time at the coast.

I live in the UK, in Yorkshire, so these images are inspired by the North Sea. Gannets are thriving here.

Thank you so much for your lovely words about my poem.

I love the descriptions which remind me so much of what I encounter when I walk by/or swim in the sea, especially the cliff edge shadow, the diamonds and the slate shadow troughs. Beautiful. I have a sensation of falling as I read this poem and then you manage to bring me into a place of holding. There's grief and warmth intertwining.

Beautiful, Jackie. I could really see/feel the sea, and the ache with your grief.
