ALMOST TIME
sorenbarrett said:
I hear the process of aging in this poem where time takes its toll and the liveliness that was once there grows stiff as the fire of life burns down to embers. Nicely written my friend

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, by the time the hellish hound appears, the poem has already made the road feel haunted...the final image seals the curse. Fantastic fun, my friend!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THE BREAKFAST
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a warm, homespun charm here, as sunshine moves from the rooftops into the kitchen and the ordinary morning rituals gather a family into the same small, lively world before the day pulls them apart. “The day it rubs / Its sleepy eyes” is the keeper for me, because that gentle personification gives the whole scene a pulse, making breakfast feel less like routine and more like the world waking up alongside the people who call it home.

THE SOLDIERS SONG
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, I wish humanity were as committed to preserving life as it has proven itself capable of destroying it. There are no words adequate to the suffering people inflict upon one another. Thank you for keeping our humanity before us, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I don’t often come across these poems but this hit close to home for I had family members who are veterans, and my brother is in the air force. This is a very good poem, nicely done.

A grim and dark read this poem speaks to the horrors of war but in a matter of fact cadence and meter as if marching off over the hill. Nicely done Norman

Always marvelled about the eyes double function as a mirror and not just to see out of. 🙏🏻🕊️

POTTERS FIELD
Norman Flagtea said:
A beautiful poem!
And a beautiful place.
It seems to me that the forgotten dead are quite at peace there. They share a fate, keep each other company and have a sad smile for the world - often grey but always wonderful.

There is something so gentle and tender so feminine about this poem that captures so well a man\'s view of femininity and its alure. It is innocent, playful yet quiet and all done in very nice rhyme. It feels romantic and is a fave my friend
