A FOREIGN LAND
sorenbarrett said:

Very nicely written a poem of acknowledging the horrors and uncertainties of war. It speaks coldly as one must divorce oneself from feeling in such situations and in its cold like the autumn before winter leaves fall. A very somber poem and a fave

A SINGLE ROSE
Fína Elara 🌙 Petra Patrice said:

It captures both the isolation of the rose and love and the emotional weight carried in its “weeping petals” and silent longing. Nicely Written.

A LATIN GARDEN
sorenbarrett said:

Norman this poem has a special thing about it that I can not put my finger on. It has good flow and a rolling meter that carries the reader onward, the rhyme is good and engaging and the message is haunting but there is something else intangible that I like about it. A fave

POWER SCREAMING
sorenbarrett said:

A most thought provoking poem about the nature of man. Man a social animal that thrives in community is acculturated follower by nature looking to a leader for direction and when it is the wrong leader freedom is lost. Lovely write

OLD PHOTOGRAPHS

THE INEVITABLE STORM
sorenbarrett said:

This poem can be read literally or metaphorically but I choose to read it in the middle of someone in a literal storm but speaking to the storm metaphorically. Time and age affect all and is a storm that we all weather regardless. Even the wind dies eventually and often at night. Nicely written

THE GRINDSTONE
sorenbarrett said:

Capitalism at its best (worst). Empires built on dead men\'s bones and passed on fortunes. Corruption rules and he that dies with the most toys wins. A good read

THE OTHER
RSM0812 said:

An all too familiar scene at the end of a crazy night. People should really try and behave themselves. But unfortunately they seldom do. Especially at a bar afyer last call. An enjoyable read. Nice write.

THE GREATEST LOSS

There can be no greater grief than that of losing one\'s child. No parent should outlive their children. A very sad poem well done
