I like how you show a normal life with normal expectations, until the day it is no longer normal. But what is normal?
Excellent!

Sharon, thank you. It is an entry for the repetition-poem. In each couplet I repeat the word "normal", so I hope it is accepted.

13th poet, thanks for the review.
Comment from Puzzle
I liked this poem a lot. It's about how we have to accept things as normal even if they are not. And what is "normal" anyway? Especially when it comes to families. This is really well written. Good luck in the contest!

Puzzle, that is a nice review. I see it made you think, and that is exactly what I wanted. Not so much hope to be elected in this contest; it seems to me people like very light stuff better. But never mind.

I?m definitely one who likes to think. This is definitely deeper than most. I enjoyed it.

I am happy about that.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A poignant write here when normality is disrupted but we are all expected to accept it as if it was normal and yet someone has been killed, I understand your sentiment here and war is not normal and it causes great disruption to family life and leaves behind a scar forever, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Comment from dmt1967
This is a sad poem on the way we accept blindly the opinions of others. I thought the poem said a lot without it saying nothing at all. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

Dmt thanks a lot for your comment. I don't think this poem has a chance of winning, but I don't care very much. I never tried much to write "for everybody".
Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
First: heads up re those annoying "A" critters that crept in. I get burned on this myself. I see in your footnotes re war and silent acceptance. My friend just reminded me that the cure for the 1929 depression was WWII. I'd rather keep Corona and its ensuing economic collapse! Cheers. LIZ

Comment from Drew Delaney
I think this type of poem is quite different than most I have read. I like how it kind of starts slow and builds up to the crescendo effect. Nice job. Best wishes.

Drew, thank you. I know. I have seen (since January) that I write different pieces. Sure this one will not win, but I can't keep my mouth shut.
