Hi Terry and Barbara,
Thank you both for your feedback. I had been on pins and needles wondering whether the experiment worked or whether it ventured into purple prose. Given Terry's comment about melancholy, I guess you could say that it was blue rather than purple?
Terry, I've always loved the architectural structure of the widow's walk, but its very name strikes me as evocative and melancholy. ; I personally envisioned the piece's speaker (or thinker) being on a rocky Scottish beach, but I purposely left open to reader interpretation where she is.
