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
Tristan Robert Lange said:
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! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

BETTER EYES
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, I think many of us know what it is to fall for an image of someone and discover later how much of that image we created ourselves. That realization can be brutal…especially when lives have already become intertwined. This one hits, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

WHAT HAPPENED TO CODY HAHN
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Holy hell, David...what begins almost like a Hollywood murder mystery slowly becomes the confession of someone who doesn’t even realize he’s confessing. The entitlement and self-justification become more grotesque with every stanza until the past quite literally comes crashing through the window. That ending lands beautifully. Excellent piece, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

THE ROCK STAR WALKS AWAY
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Damn, David...this reads like the morning after an entire way of life. The glamour has worn off, the illusions aren’t working anymore, and what remains is the realization that continuing carries too high a price. That ending lands with tremendous finality. Brilliant work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A NATURAL STATE OF TENSION
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, what a thought-provoking piece! I really connect with the idea that not every tension within us is an enemy to defeat...some of it drives us toward the next question, creation, challenge, or achievement. The trick is learning what to harness and what to release. Excellent write, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️
