Well written . The ghost could represent unresolved emotions, perhaps related to grief or nostalgia.

NO FRIEND OF MINE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, \"To await the dawn / As if an execution\" is the image that stayed with me. What a striking way to turn something usually associated with hope into something dreaded. That landed hard, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

NO FRIEND OF MINE
Thomas W Case said:
This has a calm, almost resigned elegance to it—night not as drama, but as a weight the mind has to carry.
What stands out is how you turn time itself into feeling: the night stretches, not because it is long, but because suffering makes it so.

THE UNREAD POEM
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this speaks to a fear many writers probably know well...not rejection, but simply never being read at all. The thought of words carrying so much of us and then fading unnoticed is a poignant one. This spoke to me, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THE UNREAD POEM

A topic I have written of before and so well done here. Short lines intensify the moment and give a sense of urgency to the write. Well done

IMMORTALITYS BREATH
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, the image of the old gates leading nowhere stayed with me. There is something wonderfully unsettling about that idea...a destination that simply vanishes when you arrive. Powerful stuff, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THIS LONELY STREET
Samprikta Paul said:
This kind of seems so heavy, and a sense of overthinking, or maybe noticing every single detail and being able to resonate with emotions. That\'s so good, well done.

This poem well worded wends its way along forlorn paths that seem to have no end. Very nicely done

THAT FRIGHTENING STARE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this is a powerful piece, my friend. There is a deep sense of frustration and warning woven throughout it...a concern not only for what is lost, but for those who are too often overlooked in the process. Thought-provoking work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

AT EACH TURN
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, what a thoughtful piece. The journey from memory, to choice, to renewal feels natural and earned. We all carry things we\'d rather leave behind, yet each sunrise offers another chance to grow beyond them. There is real hope woven into this one, my friend. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Focusing on the good to forget the bad is not necessarily a bad thing. A positive point of view a key to happiness. Well written
