Tristan Robert Lange said:

Rebellion, the progression from “(I received claps)” to “(thunderous applause)” is brilliantly staged. Each escalation exposes more moral fracture. And when you close with “all of them had purchased bungalows on lifelong loans,” it seals the hypocrisy cleanly. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Were those bungalows on waterfront property in Florida where an irrigation ditch counts under the law as waterfront? Well done Rebellion

Poetic Lesson 
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Rebellion, this balances wit and critique beautifully. The flower without a plant image opens it with wonder, then the bacteria line injects satire. The cane landing reframes everything as commentary on power and suppression. Humor laced with sting…exactly how it should be. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

It is the difficulty in mining and the rarity of the mineral that gives it value whether words or diamonds. A most lovely write that feels so real and like a parable tells its story

Tristan Robert Lange said:

Dearest friend, I’ve seen that exact kind of overconfident reasoning implode before. The way you frame it as intellectual gravity meeting romantic miscalculation feels painfully relatable. The humor lands because the ego feels real, and hat’s what makes it work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Hey, my friend, this hits with sly teeth and humor, sharp and unapologetic.
I love how you twist wit and desire into a punch that leaves the ribs aching.

A wonderful poem about misunderstanding in the complexities of life and language. Over a t a tiff but (pun intended) for the want of a nail the shoe was lost and so forth. Loved it

Blind Man\'s Light
Friendship said:

What a beautifully written poem. Your poem revolves around the profound connection between music and understanding life’s essence. Yet the poet explores the transformative power of sound and rhythm, illustrating how music can evoke deep feelings and insights comparable to a blind man\'s realization of light. and touches on perception, awareness, and the innate understanding of existence that transcends physical sight.

Can\'t see where bad or ugly could possibly come from. Got it from the first stanza and was off... Came back for the rest later.

Needless to say.....

Blind Man\'s Light
Tristan Robert Lange said:

My friend, the instrumentation imagery grounds the piece, but the inward turn is what elevates it. From sax and cymbals to womb memory and pre-verbal language…that arc feels intentional. In my humble opinion, you didn’t fail to find the words…you showed how music lives beyond them. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

They do say the baby can feel the rhythm of music in the womb.
I suppose through the decades, baby\'s have been having a great time musically.
Maybe the 60s babies had the best time of all.

Blind Man\'s Light
sorenbarrett said:

A lovely poem of music which I love and feel enough to bring tears even when being watched. That beat in the womb of a mother\'s heart and the sound of passing air to the lungs was transferred to wood and stone long before words. It lives inside us from countless generations across all cultures a universal language that touches far deeper than poetry. When combined the two become celestial exciting armies and taming the wildest beast. The last stanza struck home my friend.

This circles tenderness without ever naming it, lets love show itself sideways and human.
That last echo of the sea feels earned—quiet, sad, and devastating in the best way.

One thing we notice that we don\'t mind when children make us go round in circles but we lose temper when adults do so...

This felt familiar in a human way. How often care is misunderstood until someone names it for what it is. You captured that quiet truth with real compassion. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

Five minutes on the beach, all the kids start to look the same.
You can see why adults go around in circles going crazy when they can\'t see them.
This is why I connect them to a thirty-foot chain.

This poem can be taken in various ways by the child whose steppes he is following sees his behavior as crazy, an adult sees his behavior as theirs having done themselves, the man himself gets lost in his own behavior only recognizing its futility after a while, the reader that sees meaning in it all. Are we not all the same it the development of the vision of our behaviors having to grow and step back from them to see their meaning. A fave

Nicely done. Your poem depicts a moment at the beach, focusing on the interactions between a mother and her child as they observe a man retracing a child\'s footsteps in the sand. It contrasts the carefree spirit of childhood with the adult\'s interpretation of that freedom.

The Obscurity 
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Reading this, I felt that familiar sickness that comes when accountability dissolves into procedure. The way you hold space for the victims while naming the machinery that moves on regardless feels honest and necessary. Well done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
