I would also use the word interesting. Both good interesting and bad. Good because I feel that although I have read your poem and understand it, I have only touched the surface. Bad because I fear that what lies deeper has a slightly ominous tone to it.

Thank you for this, cariad. Your words act to clear up the view I see when I come back to this from time to time. I will keep sticking to the surface, I think. Going deeper means dealing with the "ominous". Honestly, I am a bit scard to go there yet. Maybe ever.

Interesting good. It creates in me a sense that I need to know more, to get closer to this story to find out what is there, just out of reach.
I do appreciate you responding to my question, TDS. I value your thoughts. I think it's a matter of keeping it well out of reach. Feels safer that way.
Not the best of plans when trying to write, but as I mentioned above, it's a difficulty I am struggling to work through, so maybe one day...

Most sincerely-
