This poem cast in short lines bleeds one line into the next with grace and good flow. It seems as if it is all recited in one breath. Well done and a fave

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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The feel makes me agree on the impermanence of moments and the impossibility of preserving them completely. 🕊️🙏

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

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! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

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.

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

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.

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.

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
