THE GAP BETWEEN
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this is a sobering reflection, my friend. The contrast between those who struggle simply to survive and those who pass by untouched gives the poem its emotional weight. Thought-provoking work. 🌹🖤🙏

Norman, what struck me most is the contrast between what is visible and what remains hidden. The shadow, the cloak, the stranger moving away from the crowd...all of it builds toward that final acknowledgment that so much suffering goes unwitnessed. Yet through the words, something important is still shared. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

WITHOUT A BRIDE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this hit me hard. There is a quiet sadness running through it that never lets up. By the end, you really feel the weight this man has been carrying for years. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Such true words Norman, those in power just do not care for people any more.
#As an aside I was a metallurgist in a foundry many years ago.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, what stayed with me most was the contrast between what once was and what remains. You can feel the pride in the work, the effort, the contribution...and then the emptiness that follows when all of that is set aside. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
