A great compassionate poem with humanitarian pleas and appeal against the rich esp those that exploit the poor. From Palestinians to sudanese, hungry children all their fault. Kudos!
Plz also read and comment my newest poem too

There’s a hard moral weight in this—like the poem refuses to look away from what comfort often ignores.
And it lands with a bitter clarity: not just describing hunger, but indicting the distance that allows it to continue.

Indeed a powerful message where the answer lies even deeper in controlling a birthrate where there is little chance of being fed. Well written

It\'s terrible. it seems there is enough to go round, but it\'s not shared equally, so we can\'t blame God, or a god, for it.
Meanwhile - you\'re famished waiting that long at the bus stop. Must be dinner time by now. lol.

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Norman, this really moved me. The quiet grief in this piece feels so intimate and lived-in…not dramatic, just deeply present in the ordinary details of the morning. That lingering absence hangs over every line. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

THIS LONELY STREET
orchidee said:

Good write N.
Why, yes, we know why it\'s a lonely street - they all got tired of waiting for the bus and went home - or walked to town! lol. You thought you saw a No 7 bus, but it was only in your dreams? lol.

THIS LONELY STREET
Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, “The silence echoes / So very loud” lands beautifully. It captures that strange emotional paradox where isolation itself becomes overwhelming noise inside the mind. Strong piece, Norman. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

THIS LONELY STREET
sorenbarrett said:

A vivid image poetically painted but there may be more in metaphor in this cold and desolate picture where the inner workings of the individual may be represented. Well done Norman

Well written. Your poem captures a narrative of a night filled with ominous feelings and a sense of impending doom, culminating in an act of violence.

PREMONITION
orchidee said:

Good write N.
You been waiting so long for that bus that you\'re having premonitions, illusions, seeing things, about it now! lol. It\'s a ghost-bus, a mirage. lol.

PREMONITION
Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, “Like a cigarette / Rolled too tight” is such an effective opening image. It immediately creates pressure, discomfort, and the feeling that something is about to snap. Great job on this, Norman. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

This poem chills to the bone. It is a premonition neglected. Well written my friend

NIGHTMARE
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Norman, this has the feel of wandering through an abandoned inner landscape at night. Strange rooms, trembling voices, shadowed kingdoms, pounding heartbeat…it all builds a powerful sense of emotional exhaustion and haunted unrest. Wonderful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
