Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this feels exhilarating and defiant. There’s a joy in outrunning the rules and trusting the leap, even when recognition lags behind. The poem carries its own momentum. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The One To Embrace (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is a disciplined trio. The artist who unsettles, the memory stripped to its core, the emperor exposed by indifference…each poem sharpens the next. Together they read as a meditation on humility, perception, and the cost of ignoring the obvious. Strong, confident work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The first one Kurt is so much on target even research shows that fears must be confronted to be defeated. The second is one of delusion both of the voter and the incumbent a wonderful write.

Kurt, this is a disciplined body of work. From memory and absence to legacy and fate, each poem offers a clean edge that invites contemplation rather than explanation. Taken together, they read like signposts along a long interior road. Strong, thoughtful writing. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, these poems speak to each other across registers…one exposes the mechanics of harm, the other the cost of wisdom. Together they suggest that seeing clearly is only the beginning, and living with the question is the real work. I couldn\'t agree more. 💯 Powerful, disciplined writing, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Juke Joint (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this carries fire. It feels lean, deliberate, and unapologetic…freedom not as theory, but as something earned in heat and sound. The Blues pulse through every line. Love it, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Death (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, these two pieces speak to each other beautifully. One names death as an inescapable horizon, the other makes it intimate and immediate. Together they form a quiet reckoning with finality and self judgment that doesn’t ask for comfort. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, these feel lived-in. The blues piece aches without posturing, and the prayer answers it quietly rather than trying to fix it. Together, they feel honest…music and mercy sharing the same breath. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I love the blues but don\'t play it myself. It\'s not because I\'m sadistic but I work with people that do play it. The music itself is soulful and so are many of the people. A great write Kurt

An Angel\'s Wings
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, that image of the angel’s wings buried within really struck me. It suggests something sacred suppressed, not destroyed…latent and aching. The tension between doctrine and damage is held tightly in that moment. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this reads like a modern lamentation. Each conditional names a failure we recognize, and the final denial of ascension lands with sober clarity. A disciplined, powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this poem captures disillusionment with precision—machinery, icons, desert—all circling a self trying to survive the maze. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
