NIGHTMARES
Thomas W Case said:
This poem moves like a drifting nightmare, where fragments of memory and shadow blur into something unsettling and half-recognized. The imagery carries a quiet tension, as if the mind is trying to make sense of fears it almost understands but can’t fully escape.

THE UNKNOWN NAME
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this really drew me in. It has that dreamlike atmosphere you do so well…haunting, reflective, and quietly beautiful. I found myself lingering in the imagery long after the final stanza. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THE RUBBLE AND THE DUST
Paul Bell said:
21st century, not a lot has changed it seems.
In fact, I would say we\'re going backwards.

This to me Norman speaks of inner turmoil and a mind working it out more of an existential problem than anything else. Nicely done with rhyme my friend

And yet they parade both at some angles even hand in hand. Too much of a coincidence to not be foul play. A very exposing write. 🙏🏻🕊️

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, the contrast between suffering and political pageantry is devastating. It exposes how empty public gestures become when ordinary people pay the price. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

History written by not only the winners but about the ones with power and money not the ones behind the scenes and under the rubble. Nicely said Norman.

LIGHT FROM YOUR WINDOW
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this really moved me. There’s such a quiet ache running through it…the kind that never needs to raise its voice to be felt. Beautifully written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

MURMUR
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, Norman, what a wonderfully eerie piece. The gradual pacing draws us further into the suspense, while that abrupt ending leaves the imagination to supply something far worse than any explanation could. I’ve always loved horror that understands the unseen frightens us most. Brilliantly handled, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Line by line the tension builds like footsteps coming toward a closed door anticipation builds. And as the knob turns the film ends. Nicely written Norman

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, what a haunting and beautiful poem. I know how vividly memory can resurrect someone, and the uncertainty surrounding this woman makes her presence even more powerful. Love, regret, and mortality become inseparable here...leaving the past very much alive. Wonderful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What a haunting portrait of echoing past through ruined spaces and lost innocence resulting in conflicting truths like a ghost moving through the wreckage of their own actions, evoking a nocturnal haunting mood.
