AN ANGELS PRAYER
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Norman, my friend, this holds a quiet, haunting stillness…like emotion caught in place with no release. That image of frozen tears in marble eyes stays with me…feeling present, yet unable to move. I’ve felt that kind of weight too, where something sits just beneath the surface without escape. This lands as reflective, eerie, and deeply felt. Powerful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

I WILL REMEMBER
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Norman, this carries a steady, quiet strength…like memory itself standing its ground against time. That image of returning from the soil stays with me…loss and renewal wrapped together. I’ve felt that need to remember, even when everything else moves on. This lands as both resistance and hope. Powerful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Well said. You painted an image of a flower dying and being reborn, symbolizing the cyclical nature of life and the persistence of memory.

There is something special about this piece that is like an echo from the past a voice into the future that haunts the ear as if eroding stone and leaving one\'s mark it speaks of eternity and the immortality of memory. Well spoken

Norman, this is beautiful…there’s a softness here that just settles in. It feels calm but not empty…like a quiet moment that still holds emotion underneath. Really peaceful read. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

KNOCK DOWN AND REBUILD
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Norman, this hits with a heavy, grinding force…you can feel the destruction as it unfolds. It doesn’t hold back, and that gives it real weight. Powerful write and, honestly, a fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

A sad poem, it touches upon themes of memory, the fragility of human life, and the relentless nature of change.

KNOCK DOWN AND REBUILD
Katie B. said:

This must be painful losing your home to destruction most likely due to commercial take over.
Excellent piece. Well written and thought out.

KNOCK DOWN AND REBUILD
sorenbarrett said:

Norman this to me beyond the vivid picture painted of physical destruction is metaphoric of greater destruction where the physical falls in rubble self inflicted by not only neglect but active destruction. It is a sad poem of the activities of man and how what was once beautiful and useful is pulled down. Well written a fave

HOP SCOTCH
sorenbarrett said:

I love the balance from old age to young children in this poem and the difference between the two. It is wise but playful it is forgetful but mindful, it is lonely but social

HOP SCOTCH
orchidee said:

I know it - that bus took so long to arrive that you had time for a game of hopscotch - or ten! lol.
