It was only a matter of time! You deserve some kudos for introducing her to me long ago (she made an appearance in our homeschooler writing group, if I remember right!)
Great poem. I read this aloud and feel like the rhythm replicates the ebb and wash of the sea, or maybe a shuttle on a loom, both of which are of course relevant... :-)
Ha! so good to follow the stepping stones of this longish early poem from HD, Nina. And I"m glad to see you promise more from her later on.
Thank you Daphne! I'm always open to take requests if you've got favourites: H.D. has such a vast and wonderful back catalogue of poems...
I've been waiting for H.D. to make an appearance!

Ohh, that's lovely. I've always enjoyed how H.D.'s poetry flows out loud!
Sea Heroes and The Helmsman are two of her other poems that have an ocean-like rhythm🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
