THE WATCHER
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this really moved me. Two figures carrying the same sorrow while neither recognizes themselves in the other…that’s beautifully tragic, my friend. Powerful write! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THE WATCHER
Thomas W Case said:
The angel and the poet mirror each other beautifully here—two wounded souls carrying isolation without realizing they’re sharing the same damn pain. The golden tears and broken white wings give it a haunting visual weight, while the ending quietly brings the whole thing home.

The watchfulness of poets and poetry make them angelic in their process and function. Most striking thesis put forward.

A lovely write that makes sense of the first part of the poem by tying it to the last. Nicely resolved. Well done

Tristan Robert Lange said:
There’s a lovely progression here, Norman...the midnight solitude begins almost haunted by loneliness and invisible wounds, but gradually opens into something gentler and more contemplative. Sometimes those lonely roads lead us somewhere inside ourselves we needed to visit. Much enjoyed, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This seems a reflective poem on thoughts and a sense of peace is left at the end. Well done

THAT HAUNTING QUOTE
Thomas W Case said:
This leans hard into gothic dread, building the tension one cold, grim image at a time until that final “NEVERMORE” lands like a coffin lid. The supernatural imagery is familiar territory, but the creeping rhythm gives it a dark, old-school chill.

THAT HAUNTING QUOTE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Damn, Norman...this is wonderfully Gothic! 🖤 I love how the dread keeps advancing, almost as though the poem itself is closing the distance between the reader and the grave. By the time that final declaration arrives, there really could be no other ending. Fantastic homage to Poe, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Norman, this is absolutely beautiful. There’s such warmth and intimacy here...that quiet morning closeness with someone you love before the rest of the world comes calling. Wonderful poem, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

THE LAPPING OF THE WAVES
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, Norman...what a powerful piece. You take us right to that terrible edge without offering some tidy transformation at the end. The pain remains, but so does he...and sometimes that is victory enough. Really moved by this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
