A strange guy
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This poem, Soren,, is playful, surreal, and tinged with irony. I love your use of absurdist imagery to sketch a character who is both whimsical and tragic—a kind of poetic trickster or holy fool. The character of the poem defies rules and expectations, bending reality with an air of tragic whimsy, operating in a nonsensical or distorted world but continuing to act with intent, if not wisdom. One of the strangest—and sharpest—character sketches I’ve read in a while...in all of the right ways. Well done, dear poet and friend! 🌹👏

Redemption in deception

Truly something to think about. Our words should encourage and not cause harm but that is not always the case. Great poem.

A lovely piece of poetic humour of the reality that the world is being run by a bunch of clowns with varying if no ability or compassion, this will be one big top that does come crashing down, enjoyed the read

It is like being taken on a wild, surreal ride; a collage of contradictions and improbable images that somehow coalesce into the portrait of a chaotic, almost mythic figure. The titular “strange guy” feels like a trickster saint, stitched together from satire, sorrow, and cosmic whimsy. And it isn’t just eccentricity for its own sake but reads like commentary on the absurdity of modern prophecy, of being human in a world that doesn’t quite make sense: perhaps even a mad-poet oracle. 🙏🏻🕊️

Haunting and raw—your words peel back the lies we wear like skin. The imagery chills, especially \'mask of a fool\' over a \'ghoul face.\' Truth scarier than any ghost.

Well worded. The face of humanity is a scary look. At best we a just a bit above the animals, if not equal to. Your \"mirror\" is just Man\'s vanity. Loved the internal rhyming. And, at the end we continue onward. A brilliant poem. - Phil A.

What can be done? The last line. KP had no improvements with botox, even with the mask on. I said to her: \'The mask IS on you, dear; we can\'t tell the difference if you have it on or off\'. lol.

This poem, my friend, is as prophetic as anything I have read in the Bible or elsewhere. Why? Because, contrary to popular belief, prophecy calls out wrong doing and warns of its consequences, rather than merely predicting the future. The prophetic voice speaks from a transcendent place, a \"God\'s eye view\", and calls the bullshit bullshit. The \"predictions\" are common sense...if you keep doing this, you will end up reaping that. This poem does this in all the right ways. A fave for me, for sure. LOVE THIS and will be back to read it again! 🌹👏 Oh, and I an not sure if you intended this or not—my guess, being an avid reader of yours is that it was intentional—but \"White Sepulchres\" references, for me, Jesus\' woes to the religious leaders and scribes in Matthew 23:27-28: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which on the outside look beautiful, but inside they are full of the bones of the dead and of all kinds of filth. So you also on the outside look righteous to others, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.\" (NRSV). Like I said, your poem is prophetic in all the right ways. Bravo, my dear friend and poet. This one packs a punch of Biblical proportions. 🌹👏
