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! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Death comes for all nature\'s justice that none escape. No one gets out of this life alive. Well done

ODE TO THE INTROVERT
Tristan Robert Lange said:

David, you got me with this one. I was smiling all the way through. It’s funny, thoughtful, and unapologetic in defending something that’s so often misunderstood. That closing made me laugh out loud. Excellent write, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

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! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

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. There’s a driving confidence to it that never lets up. Strong write, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

PHD IN REDNECK
sorenbarrett said:

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 BARREN TIMES
Tristan Robert Lange said:

David, I absolutely love this. You take a neglected pocket of the year and reveal why it deserves our attention. Quiet, contemplative, and beautifully atmospheric. Wonderful write, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

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! πŸ˜‚πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

TORCHLIGHT SKIERS
Tristan Robert Lange said:

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! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

NIGHT, NORTH WOODS DEER CAMP
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Wow, what a wonderful poem, David! This brought back that childhood thrill when the world felt ancient, mysterious, and wonderfully untamed. Loved this, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

TRAPPER DAN\'S MAMMOUTH
Tristan Robert Lange said:

David, what one heck of an adventure! This has danger, folklore, humor, and the irresistible madness of a man pursuing riches despite every warning offered. Thoroughly enjoyed this, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

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! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

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! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

NO SAFE SPACES

HUMAN NATURE DOESN\'T CHANGE (I-IV)
Tristan Robert Lange said:

One hell of an ambitious and provocative piece, David! The extended structure gives your argument considerable force, and I understand exactly where its cynicism comes from. I found myself resisting some of its broader assumptions, especially where complex human behavior becomes fixed categories…but poetry that creates genuine disagreement also creates genuine engagement. You certainly accomplished that here, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

CAMPFIRE, CAMPFIRE
Tristan Robert Lange said:

David, what a wonderful poem! This captures everything I love about camping...the laughter, the stories, the quiet reflection, and that unmistakable feeling of being fully alive outdoors. Beautifully done, my friend! πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
