BUT GENTLY I WAIT TO SAY GOODBYE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
The natural world continuing around this deeply human contemplation gives the piece tremendous peace, Norman. Life and death occupy the same sacred space without struggling against one another. Wonderfully written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The meter and flow are fantastic

Went back to the words and was blown away
Fantastic writing

There is definitely a feel of departure in this poem a sense of death and moving on. It is melancholic and a bit somber if not sad. Well written my friend

TRAPPED IN TIME
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, what a haunting and atmospheric piece. The old structures remain, but whatever power they once carried is steadily disappearing while the world continues around them. I’ve visited places that hold this same eerie presence...beautifully captured, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Good write N. Yep, we\'re trapped in time waiting for that bus. Now a poem about it. The first line goes: Ohhh, F, F, F, and F! lol.

A most lovely imaged metaphor of age and disrepair. Nicely worded it paints its picture well and is a fave

PATRIOTISM
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this hits with brutal clarity. Political power manufactures the fervor, ordinary families absorb the loss, and commerce waits at the other end…all beneath the disguise of noble devotion. Brilliantly delivered, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Got that right. Hear Hear. I\'m tired of this argument, have delt with it before. Will contribute no more unless a clown leaps to patriotism\'s defence...

PATRIOTISM
sorenbarrett said:
This poem is chilling even its form resembling a cross as a grave marker leaves one to shudder. Patriotism has been the rallying call for millennia but seems antiquated now days with a global internet, economy and relations. Isolationists an artifact of an out dated time. Patriotism a means of control.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this hit me hard. Every farewell among lifelong friends carries the awareness that the circle is becoming smaller...and another person’s passing forces each survivor to confront their own mortality. Stark, honest, and powerful, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

WHEN THE WAR IS OVER
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Norman, this hit hard. You confront the invisible aftermath carried by those who return home physically while remaining trapped within what they endured. Powerful and compassionate work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There is an emotional story the remains hidden in this write. One of violence and a trauma if one would. Nicely written

orchidee said:
Good write N - the horrors of war. No other species does it. Animals need to kill for prey, but not just for the sake of killing each other. And in Nature, etc, many good things done by humans. But in other cases, along comes man and mucks it up.
When that bus turns up, you\'ll have war with the driver - what kept ya, you will say?! lol.

Such a haunting write, Norman. Denial offers no real refuge here; absence continues to occupy the mind and disturb every attempt at peace. Excellent work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
