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.

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.

A fine write N. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) you\'ve had plenty of time to hear those larks while waiting for that bus, while they hear your melodious tones of \'Where is that *&^%£!**#! bus?\' lol.

We see ourselves as above other animals but they and the lark sit above us watching us destroy not only them but ourselves. This poem is dark and holds a foreboding feel of self condemnation. Very well written and a fave

There’s a hard tenderness in this—love sitting right beside confusion and pain, neither one letting go.
Even in the fractures, the ending still reaches for repair, like something refusing to fully break.

Norman, what a heartfelt poem. I appreciate that you neither romanticize nor shy away from the reality of mental illness. Instead, you hold onto compassion and the hope that love can still find a way forward. That final stanza is especially moving. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a lovely poem on a relationship affected by the paranoia of an illness and the desire to still make it work building off old alliances. Well done my friend.

Norman, this really drew me in. There’s a melancholy woven through every stanza, and by the end I could almost hear the music fading into the night. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

You always have such good rhythm and rhyme Norman, not to mention your choice of words and descriptions. A very good well rounded poem. I could be there in the bar too.

I very much liked this one Norman the short lines and rhyme left the feeling of rocking on the water and the setting seemed appropriate maybe enhanced the situation with drunken swaying. A fave my friend.

Norman, what a poignant piece. The gentle rhythm and reflective tone make it feel like paging through old memories, each one carrying a little more longing than the last. The ending leaves the heart quietly searching alongside the poem. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
