It’s stark, hopeful, and honest. The rhythm of confession meets the pulse of renewal…a generational mirror with both cracks and light. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Three poems, one echoing spirit. Each reads like a small prayer whispered into the wind...part lament, part benediction. Pure distilled Kurt. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It is good advice to whisper when you wish to be heard. The whisper attracts attention and all will listen. Another good read

Freedom Awaits (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
That closing line…“the brave and the strong”…lands with quiet power. It’s less boastful than resolute, like a light held steady in the dark. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this poem burns with righteous precision…a mirror held to envy disguised as critique. Sharp, rhythmic, and fearless…it doesn’t flinch from calling the devil by name. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt I feel this one deeply. In such poetic form you have described the process. How often I have had critics words dissect a poem\'s lines not understanding its meaning. Criticized for it not being descriptive enough when it\'s meant to be vague, for lack of color when the meaning is black and white, when taking it for a mere description when it is a metaphor. We are not responsible for a critic\'s lack of understanding. It took too long before they understood van Gogh\'s paintings and Melville\'s masterpiece

This one made me grin: turning a DUI into a “Poet’s D.U.I.” is such a sharp little twist. I like how it pokes fun at the idea of being drunk on words, overdoing it, and then having to sit in the back seat of your own craft. It’s playful but also a sly reminder that even creativity has its limits. 🙏🕊️

Right, blow into this bag.
I\'m sorry sir, your licence to write has been revoked, step away from the computer, and I\'ll read you your rights.
Okay, that\'s a year in jail, but due to overcrowding we\'re setting you free, but we\'re keeping your pen.

I love this one Kurt the metaphor applies so well. I have often wondered with the liquor of time and age if my license as a poet has been revoked or soon will be. A fave

Kurt, this piece captures the peril of charisma…how easily the light turns theatrical. Sparse, biting, and beautifully self-aware. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This makes sense in that what remains hidden may be seen as a virtue while when revealed is seen as a deficit.

The Coming Of The Night (+2)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, these three pieces together feel like a triptych of soul and shadow…each one probing a different fracture of faith, myth, and meaning. Quiet power throughout. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The first so true where happiness breeds fear of its loss. The second a fun one of nursery rhyme and story making more adult style as the Grimms would know.
Well done Kurt

Our Lady Of The Lake (+2)

Mystic and surreal it call as if a dream. It has a charming beauty in its images and beckons as a siren rather than lady of the lake. Mesmerizing Kurt

The Shroud Of Darkness (+2)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Friend, this triptych reads like America’s unholy trinity...fame, division, and despair. Each poem a different verse of the same lament: the soul undone by what it worships. Brilliantly bleak, and honest. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
