THE FADED BEAUTY ( TO M )
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Norman, this is a thoughtful piece. I especially appreciated the way it ends with \"Where do you go?\" After everything that comes before it, that question invites a deeper reflection than appearances ever could. Really enjoyed this, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

THE FADED BEAUTY ( TO M )

This speaks to me of physical beauty fading with age, but the kind of person we are endures on. If beauty was our greatest asset while our character remained bitter, what is left when beauty disappears? πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ™

A POET DIED
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Norman, this is beautifully poignant. The imagery of fading wings, wandering souls, and forgotten pages creates such a reflective atmosphere, and the closing lands with quiet grace. A touching tribute and a wonderful write, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

THE MAP
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Norman, what a beautifully atmospheric piece. The moon, the miles, the scented air, and finally that tension between reality and dream all weave together so naturally. It feels reflective without losing its emotional pull. Wonderful write, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

TO A MOMENT
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Norman, what a haunting piece. That opening image of the broken anchor immediately pulled me in, and from there it felt like wandering through forgotten paths where memory and dream quietly overlap. There\'s a gentle melancholy here that lingered with me long after I finished reading. Beautifully done, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

THE SHADING TREE

Could it that the fallen leaves and twigs be as poems and poets making up millions of perpetuated memories....

THE SHADING TREE
Tristan Robert Lange said:

This is one of those pieces that earns its ending, my friend. The poet’s heart, the shading tree, the sleeping memory…it all builds toward that final image of a lifetime held gently in open hands. Beautifully done, Norman! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Lovely written. Your poem explores the interplay of memory, emotion, and the passage of time. It reflects on the experiences that shape the human soul, emphasizing the balance between joy and sorrow and the significance of memories in one’s life.

A fine write N. That\'ll be the tree by the bus stop, that\'s grown from a seed, since you been waiting there! lol.

In this poem I hear metaphor the trees become the paper the paths are virtual and imagined. The roots may be for a poem or of life itself. Nicely written it is a fave

Wow, this hit me hard, Norman…I’ve had that same feeling watching a sunset and wishing I had the words to do it justice. You found them here in a way that feels timeless.πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

I wish there were no wars. I had friends whose dads were soldiers of various defence systems, and I saw how their family was scared before they left for war, \'What if this is the last time we see him?\'
Well written.

SUNSET
Thomas W Case said:

There’s a reverence for the natural world here, like the sunset becomes a sacred moment too many people rush past.
The imagery carries a quiet music, reminding us that beauty keeps unfolding whether we stop to witness it or not.
