CHRISTMAS ANGEL

Good write N. Do you do as I do - leave a fire burning on Christmas Eve night? That\'ll teach Santa not to come down the chimney and fill the lounge with soot! lol.

CHRISTMAS ANGEL

This leaves a definite image branded in the brain and a feeling in the heart. It is metaphoric in a sense of self blindness due to past injury now stuck in the mind where once was a warm fondness now only dust remains and is gradually covering it all together. May well be wrong on this one\'s intent but that is how it struck me. Very nice and a fave

Here the bird mirrors the narrator in its behaviors and manners and the mood is set by the day. Nicely written

PAIN REMEMBERS
Goldfinch60 said:
Pain can be seen in many ways Norman, but most times it can be dismissed and life gets better.

PAIN REMEMBERS

Pain has its own after responses of avoidance and so the mind reacts but there remain echoes. Nicely written

SELF PORTRAIT BY VINCENT VAN GOGH
Poetic Licence said:
Nicely composed write of an artist as with so many of them, are misunderstood and their skills not fully appriciated until they have passed. As with many greats they were troubled souls, enjoyed the read

This poem pairs a fanciful place with the yearning for companionship and romantically weaves a poem out of it. Nicely done

FLANDERS
sorenbarrett said:
So many battle fields now forgotten buried under time. Our species a violent one from the start we have not changed much except in our technology that now allows us to exterminate large numbers of our sisters and brothers at once. We have not learned and tend to forget. A sad poem and a reminder. Well done Norman

THE ART TO KILL
Poetic Licence said:
A haunting and very raw reminder of the horrors of war and the mental and emotional effect it has on people, that lasts long after survival, well penned.

war changes men forever - the innocence is lost, and the guilt remains
a brave depiction of reality
