In Water Dark

Image : 3 In water dark, I learn to drown A silence colder than the sea The ghosts I fled still pull me up In water dark He haunts the edge where I should be A memory I never chose Still carves his name inside of me He finds me gasping, cold, stripped bare Each time I hide, he leaves a mark I bleed unseen in wounded air In water dark

Loved your roundel. Never wrote one. Best for a win.

That truly means so much — thank you. This was my first time writing a roundel, so hearing that from you really made my day. I'm so glad it connected with you. Wishing you all the best too — and I hope you give the roundel form a try, you might fall in love with it like I did!
