Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this really moved me. There is such tenderness woven through these lines...a quiet ache for what once was and what remains only in memory. The whole poem feels like walking through a house after everyone has gone home. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This seems a poem of separation by the ending. A sense of sadness is conveyed by it. Well written

MEMORY

Brings me back to aging of favoured \'climbing\' trees, whose branches became brittle and climbing was no longer safe. Most thoroughly enjoyed 🕊️🙏

MEMORY
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this feels like a poem about reconciliation with the past. The bench, the sunlight, the summer memories, and the aging figure all come together to create a gentle meditation on healing. The ending is especially touching. Beautiful piece, Norman. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THE SLENDER ROPES
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this resonated with me. The idea of poetry as both refuge and resistance is beautifully handled here. Not a hiding place born of surrender, but one that becomes a place of strength. Wonderful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A fine write N.
And now - a memory, a distant one, and that\'s a fact - of a bus turning up. You forgot what one looks like now?! lol.

Well written. Your poem explores the themes of memory, nostalgia, and the passage of time, focusing on how thoughts and memories can be both burdensome and liberating.

Those were the days Norman when kids played together all day. The sound of a child\'s laugh is still wonderful to hear.

Norman, “Five more minutes please” instantly transported me back. Such a simple phrase, yet it carries an entire childhood inside it…play, freedom, reluctance to come home, and the feeling that the day might never end. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, “Its granite breath” is such a fantastic phrase. It gives the cobbled road an ancient, living presence...as though the landscape itself carries memory and endurance inside it. That image stayed with me throughout the rest of the poem. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I love this poem and its cadence with marching flavor to it. It ends in rhyme that solidifies the finality of it. Well worded it gives a feel of earthiness. Nicely done Norman and a fave
