I really enjoy the different angles you are tackling some of the same images Carina - like especially the concept of "sun-kissed" poem 16 especially was so clever with the line breaks making the double-meaning of "kiss me like the sun" vs "kiss me until I am sun-kissed" vs "kiss me like I (am) the sun". There's a sense of being wildly in love and wanting more and more of that love that comes across in these. I said "breath of fresh air" earlier and I still see that - like each poem is a full clear thought/picture/emotion and yet it feels like a piece of something bigger.
And the way you use succinct precise images that are still very intensely personal and emotive feeling does give a little bit of rupi kaur & also haiku vibes in that a whole poem / world / emotion is contained in a single line. I really like kaur's poetry so definitely take that as a compliment!
One week of NaPo left to go! Thanks for sharing your work so far, and hope to read some more!
