LOVES DYING DAYS
sorenbarrett said:

Norman this poem casts a solemn shadow using personification and maybe animism it speaks of love that has died. Well written with good rhyme it is most poetic.

AT DAWNS ATTACK
sorenbarrett said:

The horrors of war portrayed in this poem of battle. And so it is with any war physical or otherwise it takes casualties. ,Nicely written in good rhyme it pulls the reader along from line to line in an advance from from trench to trench. Well penned

Sounds like regret or was it more a scent of misgiving? Time will tell. Thanks for the thought provoking, Norman🙏🏻🕊️

SILENCE TO CALL
sorenbarrett said:

Although this poem can be taken as one of physical isolation from others it seems more to me a poem of mental isolation where one withdraws within. It ends more hopefully with a promise to reach outside and rejoin the world and forget the loneliness and isolation inside. Very nicely done

AT ETERNITYS GATE BY VAN GOGH
sorenbarrett said:

I love the way that you have woven this poem not only from a faithfulness to the painting but its apparent emotion as well and threads of other paintings the scream by Munch. In good rhyme you do justice to this work. A fave
