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.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
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 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.

Sometimes it\'s all pretence, a show for the crowd.
Couples play the game usually online now.
If you could get in their heads, I wonder what you would find.

It was the words first that grabbed my attention then the subject and lastly the beat of the meter itself that cast the spell of mood in sad sense of jealousy without power that just eats. Nicely done Norman.

Norman this one grabbed me it combines vivid real images with symbolism to create a poetic enigma and painting of a surreal scene. Modernistic it uses classical images. Well done a fave my friend

It seems to always be nights when lonely shadows, memory, and passage of time brew a haunting atmosphere that causes reality and imagination seem to merge.

I love the cadence of this poem as it unwinds its meter and rhyme through what is a spiral stairway of words. Stairways of images built step by step line by line leads us up to a haunted tower. Nicely done my friend
