Winter Solstice

Hi Tt.

Feel like I hit a nerve with the Brit/US thing ha

I wouldn't give it a second thought. (Tricky things, assumptions.)

“It’s okay” was something very personal said to me before that night so it means something to me but then I suppose that’s not what poetry is about.

No, that may well be what poetry is about. But there's no way for a reader to know. If you disagree with a critique, either defend your corner, or just carry on regardless (either if fine, but one tends to be a bit more educational than the other.) I'd just point out that the word struck an off (linguistic) note, to me at least.

In terms of importance, what matters more to you, the 'okays' or the 'olde English style'?

I sent it to some people who seemed to know what it meant but clearly not to all.

Big word 'seemed' (did they know about the context/event that occasioned the write?)

I’m glad to get in depth feedback. Much appreciated.

You're welcome. Looking forward to seeing how you choose to revise the piece, and what else you post.

Best, Knot
