Much thanks to everyone who has commented, to those who have read and reread Edges. I just wanted to note that I discovered another meaning for groin: a small jetty extending from shore to prevent erosion. Also Fred Melden found that there is a newt that holds its head above water which he worked into the logic of the poem. Fascinating!

I loved this poem. Have read it often and each time something new appears. The sky, the earth, the horizon, even the rough spot on my wife’s heel, will never be viewed in quite the same way. We have an emerging poet here in David Cooke, who is aiming for the stars.

Awesome poem. I have read it three times and each time it surprises me. Beautiful imagery. The sea, the sky, the earth and the horizon may never look the same to me again. Or the rough spot on my wife’s heel. Way to go, David Cooke.

Truly, truly deserving…. deserving of a pushcart too! Honestly, one of my favourite poems I have read this year — not 2010 (that would be mean to say), 2009, and I consider myself well read — “I do”. Honestly, all the best, and I hope to be able to read more of your work in the future.
