THE TEXAS TREASURE TRAGEDY
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, what an ambitious and thoroughly engaging tale! I was drawn into the mystery immediately, but Gilβs response to devastating loss is what stayed with me. He cannot recover what vanished, so he devotes himself to ensuring that other lives are remembered. I deeply appreciate that reverence for human stories. Excellent work, my friend! πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

WHAT\'S MINE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, what a fiercely charged piece! I felt the speakerβs fear and resentment hardening into defiance as every possibility of dialogue disappeared. The repeated warning keeps tightening the pressure until that final invitation to conflict feels inevitable. One powerful write, my friend! πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

WHO WAS THAT GUY?
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, this really moved me. Looking across the distance between each version of yourself carries such tenderness, humor, and honest bewilderment. One heck of a reflective piece, my friend! πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

A fun read and in my mind I extend it to my age of seventy five and I still ask who was that guy

DEATH GIVES HIS WORD
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a powerful meditation, David. The speaker begins as something terrifying but gradually reveals a compassionate purpose...transforming mortality from an enemy into part of our passage home. As a person of faith, that reached me deeply. Excellent poem, my friend! πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

ODE TO THE INTROVERT
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, you got me with this one. I was smiling all the way through. Itβs funny, thoughtful, and unapologetic in defending something thatβs so often misunderstood. That closing made me laugh out loud. Excellent write, my friend. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

A good write that causes one to pause and think about people and what they contribute despite being the way they are.

PHD IN REDNECK
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, what a fiercely entertaining piece. The mounting catalogue gives tremendous weight to its celebration of practical wisdom...and I absolutely loved the sly turn at the end. Smart, spirited, and wonderfully sharp, my friend! πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

WORLDS COLLIDE
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, this really grabbed me. It feels like two opposing worldviews locked in a head-on collision, each convinced its path is the stronger one. Thereβs a driving confidence to it that never lets up. Strong write, my friend. πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

Two life styles the old and the new, the natural and the artificial, one of rock and wood one of Styrofoam and plastic. I\'m for the first but to each their own. Good write

THE BADASS YODELER
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, this is fucking hilarious! I love a tall tale that commits completely to its own ridiculous logic, and this plays like an old Western directed by Mel Brooks. The narrator treating such absurdly specialized knowledge as another hard-earned life lesson makes the ending absolutely perfect. Tremendously fun write, my friend! ππΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

David, this is absolutely magical! The anticipation builds beautifully, then erupts into a celebration that feels both ancient and wonderfully communal. Terrific poem, my friend! πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

TRAPPER DAN\'S MAMMOUTH

RIVER-DRIVER BLUES
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, what one heck of a folk ballad! The wit keeps it lively, but there is real sorrow beneath it...especially when a dangerous, hard-earned vocation survives only as fashion and entertainment. Funny, rugged, and deeply human. Excellent work, my friend! πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬

NO SAFE SPACES
Tristan Robert Lange said:
David, what a brutally powerful piece. The recurring warning grows heavier with every return...from adulthood and employment to society and existence itself. I may still insist upon creating whatever refuge I can, but I certainly recognize the unforgiving reality you confront here. Excellent write, my friend! πΉπ€ππ―οΈπ¦ββ¬
