WRITE THE TRUTH
sorenbarrett said:
Unfortunately all too true. Very often those judged as classic writes were not that popular upon release and those acclaimed critically excellent also are not that well liked. Some of my best poems are the least read.

DUDE, YOU\'RE NOT A CHICK
sorenbarrett said:
A most interesting write that carries logic that goes counter to modern popular views. It is funny how distorted things can get when we argue definitions.

HOW DELIGHTFILLY TYRANNICAL
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, this hits hard. Freedom ceases to mean anything when it is protected only for people deemed politically acceptable. Cruelty does not become righteous merely because its target is unpopular. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

CYNIC\'S BLUES
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, the repeated pattern works beautifully. Each prediction proves accurate, but every apparent victory costs another relationship, making the refrain feel less triumphant with every return. Cleverly constructed, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THE COOL, ROAN RIDER
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, what a vivid and emotionally layered Western narrative. The gunfight delivers the action, but the rider’s restraint, buried grief, and resignation to endless wandering make him genuinely compelling. This played like a film in my mind, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A LONG, GRAY SEASON
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, this presses down with the full psychological weight of winter. The landscape and the mind become inseparable until that final turn transforms endurance into embrace. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

TO MASCULINITY
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, this is one heck of a conversation starter. I’m absolutely with you that masculinity itself isn’t the enemy...toxic expressions of it are. I do wonder whether masculinity needs to be taught as much as healthy character needs to be modeled and nurtured, allowing boys to become men without forcing them into somebody else’s mold. You definitely got me thinking with this one, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

INSIGHT
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, this really lands. There’s a strong reminder here that ambition can turn into its own trap when everything becomes about getting ahead. Thoughtful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

SUNSET CONUNDRUM
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, as a writer, I absolutely know this battle. You encounter something that ought to send the words flying…and instead you’re standing there thinking, “How the hell am I supposed to capture THAT?” 🤣 Really connected with this one, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

DEAD ARBOREAL SPLENDOR

David, what a vivid seasonal piece. I love how this captures that strange stretch when autumn overstays its welcome and then suddenly gets shown the door. Nature has impeccable timing sometimes. Wonderful write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
