KNOCK DOWN AND REBUILD
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this hits with a heavy, grinding force…you can feel the destruction as it unfolds. It doesn’t hold back, and that gives it real weight. Powerful write and, honestly, a fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

KNOCK DOWN AND REBUILD
Friendship said:
A sad poem, it touches upon themes of memory, the fragility of human life, and the relentless nature of change.

This must be painful losing your home to destruction most likely due to commercial take over.
Excellent piece. Well written and thought out.

KNOCK DOWN AND REBUILD
sorenbarrett said:
Norman this to me beyond the vivid picture painted of physical destruction is metaphoric of greater destruction where the physical falls in rubble self inflicted by not only neglect but active destruction. It is a sad poem of the activities of man and how what was once beautiful and useful is pulled down. Well written a fave

HOP SCOTCH
sorenbarrett said:
I love the balance from old age to young children in this poem and the difference between the two. It is wise but playful it is forgetful but mindful, it is lonely but social

A SUPPORTING ROLE
Poetic Licence said:
I liked the depth of this and found it very relatable, the journey through life and not quite ending up how we wished and wanted to, the end reflecting back on pains and losses, nicely written.

Haunting final image. Very tense and atmospheric, accentuated by the meter and short lines. Great write

I have that mirror - seriously: it came from a theatre I once worked in.
The theatre game, one could argue, is a microcosm of the big bad world out here. I\'ll throw in \"All the world\'s a stage\" as a bonus.

I like the evolution of this poem as it takes the reader from the beginning of life or the play through it to the end. The last line leaves a question as to why his eyes do not shine and this is haunting

Norman… this settles in quietly…like the calm after everything’s already passed. There’s a softness here that carries weight without needing to raise its voice. Beautiful piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
