Winter Winds
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, what holds this collection together is motion. Conflict turning inward, ink refilling, truth beyond hype, wonder beyond reason, one chance against time, thumb in the present. There’s urgency, but also reflection. A restless, searching thread runs through all of it. Well done, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Having read these I have to say the first one caught me and carried me all the way to the last that lifted me again on that adventurers breeze. Having hitched before it brought back memories of youth and dowsed that flame of conscience lit by the first.

Comanche Moon
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is devastating in its restraint. The repetition of “I remember” builds like a tolling bell. It doesn’t dramatize…it simply bears witness. “Before / that blood-soaked morn” lands with heavy finality. This sits in the chest. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Saturday Muse
sorenbarrett said:
The second one seems the pledge of allegiance of modern day business. the third is a given where some would like to know the order and others not. As to truth it depends on what that is determined to be for the truths I was taught in school are no longer truths. A set of lovely writes Kurt

Saturday Muse
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, there’s a starkness across these that hits immediately. “Still Foreign” feels heavy and internal… almost claustrophobic in its honesty. Then “Somewhere In The Queue” cuts clean and cold. It’s minimalist, but it lingers. “...unburdened by fear” feels like the hard-won exhale at the end of it all. Fantastic job. Happy Saturday to you, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Wasteland
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is concise but layered…inheritance turned into emotional wasteland, affection replaced with division. The formatting reinforces the separation at the heart of it. It’s bleak, deliberate, and effective. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Clever wording Kurt a poem one has to think about and read more than once. In that probate I\'ll take the love and let others fight over hate.

Esmeralda 1969
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is bold…what begins as a simple encounter turns quickly into something prophetic and charged. There’s an edge to it that refuses to stay polite. It feels like a moment that lingers long after it passes. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Imprisoned Grooms
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this blends abstraction and confinement with precision. The geometry in the opening shifts into psychological imprisonment, and “wed the dark” seals it with something almost ceremonial. It’s minimal but heavy…measured and somber. Well done. my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Ensuring Tomorrow
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, I resonate with the idea that curiosity demands skill…that survival requires more than intention. The rabbits image feels like a metaphor for living with awareness, always knowing the exits. That tension between exploration and protection feels real. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Monday\'s Wander ... (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this collection moves from existential compression to heartfelt tribute seamlessly. The philosophical fragments challenge…“Moral wounds…never close” and “Virtues become crimes” cut deep. Then “Rest In Peace Augustus McCrae” opens into something expansive and human. Duvall’s presence lingers there…stoic, wry, enduring. Strong work across the board, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Sound Bites: February 14th, 2026
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is a constellation of thought and feeling. Each piece stands alone, yet together they form something larger…philosophical, intimate, and stark. “Beyond the wire” especially lands with quiet force. You move from abstraction to ache seamlessly. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Rock Bottom Awaits
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, “his curtain / a hard drive” is such a clean, modern twist. That image says everything without overexplaining. You take something familiar and update it in a way that feels unsettling and real. It’s clever, but more than clever… it’s pointed. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Rock Bottom Awaits
sorenbarrett said:
And it will. Like all technologies it will have its life and then what is to come will replace it and how much will be lost in the process, no more VHS, what was lost in CDs that no longer have players, old formats in DOS gone, with each new advance in operating systems what falls through the cracks and is lost. A solar flare could erase it all. Loved the poem Kurt
