MURMUR
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, Norman, what a wonderfully eerie piece. The gradual pacing draws us further into the suspense, while that abrupt ending leaves the imagination to supply something far worse than any explanation could. I’ve always loved horror that understands the unseen frightens us most. Brilliantly handled, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Line by line the tension builds like footsteps coming toward a closed door anticipation builds. And as the knob turns the film ends. Nicely written Norman

Norman, what a haunting and beautiful poem. I know how vividly memory can resurrect someone, and the uncertainty surrounding this woman makes her presence even more powerful. Love, regret, and mortality become inseparable here...leaving the past very much alive. Wonderful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What a haunting portrait of echoing past through ruined spaces and lost innocence resulting in conflicting truths like a ghost moving through the wreckage of their own actions, evoking a nocturnal haunting mood.

THE DUNES
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, what a wonderfully vivid coastal poem. This carried me straight to the shoreline…the salt air, weathered history, and childhood joy all alive together. Beautiful write, my friend. 🌊⚓🐚🖤🙏

Descriptive and full of images this poem speaks to the familiarity and memories of such a place. It tells of gaiety and brightness. Lovely

Wow, haunting poem, Norman! This carries such a profound sense of human wisdom struggling to survive the passing centuries. Dark, solemn, and beautifully atmospheric, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The collapse of old spiritual and poetic power, that the fading of prophecy, the ruin of temples, the exhaustion of angels, and finally the poet himself being overtaken by his own words. It’s a meditation on how sacred voices, ancient texts, and even poetry itself erode across time.

This poem feels timeless, like an echo carried through centuries, filled with reverence and quiet sorrow. There’s a beautiful gravity in your words that gives the piece a lasting, almost sacred presence.

This poem carries a solemn, almost mythic tone, with strong imagery that gives a sense of history, loss, and the fading of once-powerful voices. I especially admire the atmosphere you create—there’s a haunting beauty here that lingers, and it could become even more powerful with a slightly clearer emotional thread for the reader to follow.

Norman, this really moved me. His illness may be claiming his body, but it has not diminished the enthusiasm that lights him from within. One heck of a touching poem, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A person\'s deepest passion (as poetry is in this site) can outlast their bodily deterioration. When acquainting ourselves with them we journey along the investment of their time, effort, talent and thus they are perpetuated in their life work/occupation. 🙏🕊️

This poem created quite an image in the mind. The metaphor has layers with fragile glass and a man with cancer vintage bottles and a vintage man. The parallel is unavoidably visible. Nicely done
