A LONELY RIVER
Friendship said:
Well done. Your poem explores the personification of water, pondering its emotional and existential qualities. It raises questions about water\'s capacity to feel—whether it can weep, dream, or love—thus inviting readers to reflect on the nature of existence and the interconnectedness of life.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this carries a steady, reflective current…those questions about weeping, dreaming, loving all fold into that endless return. It feels like more than observation…like you’re giving the water a voice without forcing it. Well written. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A BROKEN SOUL
Friendship said:
Well written.Your poem explores themes of loneliness, sorrow, and the emotional turmoil associated with human existence. It paints a picture of a desolate emotional landscape where the poet grapples with feelings of isolation and despair.

A BROKEN SOUL
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this carries a steady, lingering weight…from that lonely dawn into something deeper and more internal. The familiar turned distant, the quiet turned heavy…it all builds into that sense of a soul under strain. You held that tone throughout. Well written. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

HOUSE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, I know a house can breathe. This is excellent. There’s a slow, steady tension running through this…the kind that builds as you move deeper into the space. Every step feels closer to something you can’t quite see, but you know it’s there. By the end, it doesn’t feel like a question anymore…it feels known. Really well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Yes, quite so. The old family house stood for generations and spoke even when there was no one listening. Splendid expression in poetry. 🕊️🙏

HOUSE
sorenbarrett said:
The house I live in is such and I am not such a believer but I have heard voices, singing, footsteps, doors that open and close with no breeze, draperies that fall all of a sudden after being in place for years. Yet they are friendly (spirits) if you would (for I do not believe in such despite the evidence) A nicely worded poem my friend

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this moves between memory and present ache…old wounds, quiet reflection, and that sense of something still unresolved. It circles back on itself in a way that fits the feeling you’re holding here. Nicely done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a rather unique meter and good rhyme in short lines. It gives the impression of flashes of thoughts. Well done

Norman, that butterfly in a breeze image really holds the center…everything feels fleeting but intentional at the same time. It gives the whole piece a soft, fragile weight that carries through. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
