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. π πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

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. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

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.

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 ππ»π€©ποΈ 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. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

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. Youβre 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. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

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

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. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

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.
