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

OLD PHOTOGRAPHS
sorenbarrett said:
A poem of photographs but about time and memories left behind. Some stored in the open and others tucked away. Nicely worded and somewhat nostalgic in nature. Nicely penned.

DEAFENING SILENCE

I think this is beautiful! Could you just explain line 16? I\'m not sure what it means. Otherwise I absolutely love it.

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
