This poem to conveys a love that has been lowered for some unspecified reason and dwindled from previous heights. Well done

Norman, this feels full of wonder and danger at the same time...like someone reaching toward transcendence while standing at the edge of a storm. The imagery carries such movement and atmosphere through every stanza. “To touch a rainbow / Feel its need” especially stayed with me. Beautiful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

LETTER HOME
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, what a powerful poem. There’s real fire in this...not just emotionally, but morally too. The lines about injustice and silence carry weight, and that “imprisoned flame” imagery lingers long after the read. It feels like a defense of poetry as something living and necessary...something that still refuses to look away. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this really moved me. The whole poem feels like a room still breathing long after someone has left it behind. Smoke, stains, papered walls…it all carries that quiet exhaustion of a life worn down slowly over time. Haunting piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THE DEATH OF THE MUSE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, what a hauntingly beautiful poem this is. The angel imagery and quiet melancholy weave together so naturally...especially in lines like “A ribbon from Heaven / Words yet unsaid.” Then that abandoned poet’s desk arrives and the whole piece deepens into something almost sacred. It feels like a meditation on memory, art, and the lingering echo of those who once created beauty in this world. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nicely written. Your poem revolves around the voices and presence of angels, the impact of loss, and the enduring legacy of poets and their work.

It seems that poetry is a dying art held by a thread in other art forms such as rap. Well written

Norman, this really hit hard. The poem carries such anger and sorrow beneath its restraint…especially because the suffering described is entirely preventable. That final image of hunger worn visibly on the body leaves a lasting ache. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
