THE WASTE BIN
sorenbarrett said:
It is the haunting feeling that accompanies the last lines of this poem that make it for me. So nicely composed its rhyme and meter and wording make it powerful in its feigned weakness. Such a great metaphor in the waste bin. Lovely and a fave

This poem seems a poem of recycling whether sand or in metaphor people. It flows well and calls out for stillness in the calm. Nicely done Norman

How classic in nature this poem it seems to have walked out of another time. It calls to the ear and sounds the battle cry speaking last words to friends and family. A last farewell. Very nice Norman

CHRISTMAS ANGEL

Good write N. Do you do as I do - leave a fire burning on Christmas Eve night? That\'ll teach Santa not to come down the chimney and fill the lounge with soot! lol.

CHRISTMAS ANGEL

This leaves a definite image branded in the brain and a feeling in the heart. It is metaphoric in a sense of self blindness due to past injury now stuck in the mind where once was a warm fondness now only dust remains and is gradually covering it all together. May well be wrong on this one\'s intent but that is how it struck me. Very nice and a fave
