Poetic Fragments and Philosophical Visions
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Michael, the title had me thinking of Kierkegaard before I even got through the door. 😂 Then you started wandering through love, freedom, despair, faith, mortality, and the soul, and I figured Søren might as well pull up a chair. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Alchemy of the Word
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Michael, this one gave me plenty to chew on. A writer can put something into the world, but what another person ultimately does with it belongs to them. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A poetic pledge that resounds in the innards and echoes in the mind. Well done

Roller Skating 1978
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Michael, this feels like somebody opened a door marked 1978 and just let us roll straight through it. 😂 The music, the wooden floor, the root beer foam, the station wagon waiting outside...you made the memory feel wonderfully alive. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Roller Skating 1978
sorenbarrett said:
Nostalgia pours out of this poem like rain water from a broken barrel. It was I that took my kids in this era or just a bit latter for the roller rinks in the towns we lived in son and daughter small at this time just learning to skate. Well done Michael you really put the mix of culture of the time into this one.

Michael, “Therefore: I am not!” is such a sharp little turn. Existential crisis achieved in about ten seconds flat. 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Michael, this is delightfully unhinged. By the time we hit affidavits, parole officers, and the sudden exit, I was gone. 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I find myself speaking rhymes to myself tangling thoughts with verse. The question is whether it is a bad habit or a curse but truth is it is how the brain works. A write that I can identify with my friend.

Thomas W Case said:
There’s a damn raw exhaustion running through these three pieces, with “CURSED,” “WHERE?,” and “UNBALANCED” each attacking a different kind of imprisonment: the mind that won’t stop burning, the life that feels stripped of everything it needs, and the world that keeps demanding more. “There is NONE! Therefore: I am not!” is the keeper for me, because that brutally simple equation turns absence into an identity crisis and leaves the reader staring straight into the speaker’s emptiness.

A good write that tells of how the tables have turned from a man\'s point of view. Indeed I too long for the past at times. Well done.

What a delightful write from the perspective of a kid. The little joys that make for a good day and the things to look forward too. They are soon to change as one grows to other things. Nicely done

Michael, this has some fire in it...especially that refusal to surrender the hope of peace just because history keeps failing at it. Great job, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Fault Line
sorenbarrett said:
As long as there are people there will be problems. A fine write that lays it thesis out well. Most of what I was taught in school has now been (proved) wrong, history, geology, Art, Law, writing, and even some math. I no longer can believe what I see on the news nor even from my own eyes. Confusion reigns. Nicely written.
