THE HAND OF NIGHT
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this has that late-night feeling when sleep isn\'t happening and your mind decides it\'s the perfect time to revisit everything you\'ve ever loved and lost. Thanks, brain. 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I love the meter of this poem. My favorite lines :
\"Midnight weeps
With tired eyes\"
I feel that phrase having been there before. In its sadness it speaks to me my friend. A fave

Norman, that last invitation made me stop for a second. Sometimes there\'s an awful lot waiting for us when everything else finally shuts the hell up. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Good write N.
Yes, a wretched thing, listening closely for a non-existent bus! lol. We could have walked the route by now.

Loved the combination of rhyme with short meter to set the tone of this poem. It becomes like a metronome in its ticking pulling one onward toward the end. Nicely done my friend.

Good write N. As we said to someone at that bus stop: \'Do you think too that a bus will turn up?\' lol.

Reminds me of those songs that sing about being too young to love, but that isn\'t so, I have found in many painful ways, lifetimes ago. Must moving, my friend 👍🏻🤩🕊️ a fave

Norman, this is tender and sad in that old-first-love kind of way...the memory is sweet, but that final wondering gives it the ache. Beautiful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This one touched me Norman. Maybe we all have such a thought and feeling. The sting of nostalgia for something lost in a sunny past. Memories of a spring long ago when one is in fall. It touched me my friend. A fave.

Fine words Norman about a state of the world that need not be there if those in power and with the money cared.

Norman, I like this a lot. You’re listening where respectable society usually tries very hard not to hear anything. The people pushed to the edges still have stories, and sometimes the gutter has a hell of a lot more to say than the polished places do. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Good write N. We\'ve sat down in the gutter, having stood for ages waiting for that bus. One solution might be - someone passed the bus stop and said to us: \'Oh, that route stopped 30 years ago\'. lol.

This poem creates a dark and noir feel in its imagery. It feels like a world of shadows, suffering, sadness and danger that gives a thrill to those searching for such. Nicely crafted with rhyme it seems to echo out of dark streets. Well done Norman

SCATTERED VERSE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman...this one settled heavy. The loneliness, the pacing, the absent friends, then the verse itself becoming where all of it lands. Yeah, I felt that. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I felt this, Norman. There are moments when you smile because there is no damn way you are going to let the room see what is happening inside you. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I had to read this one four times but it was well worth the effort. It contains not only rhyme and meter as well as a haunting flow but the meaning interwove with my post today or maybe it is just me that sees the similarities. In either case it is a fave my friend.
