I\'ve never liked the term, stolen. Now, borrowed the odd word, verse, as you do.
Mind you, the biggest plagiar now is definitely, AI.
Essays are easy to spot, they\'re all in Shakespeare.

Kurt, these pieces talk to each other beautifully. One resists borrowed language, the other resists mismatched force, and together they argue for integrity in craft. Writing that fits the moment…no more, no less. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt another fave. It has always been a thought that we all steal from past memories, some deliberate and others buried in an unconscious stimulated by something unnoticed. I tend to agree with Ecclesiastes that there is nothin new under the sun and as long It is not deliberate it is not plagiarism.

Excuses Set Sail
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is stark and unsettling in the absolute best way. The moral weight doesn’t argue…it confronts. Each short line lands like a hard truth we’d rather avoid. Excellent job! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is lean and incisive. Observation, intention, and avoidance collide line by line, leaving the truth just out of reach. The restraint gives it real force. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this feels quietly expansive. The poem opens a thin place where grief, music, and eternity brush against each other…and it lingers. Well done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this reads like a ledger of hard-earned lessons. Each example builds a case for clarity and restraint, and the close lands with quiet certainty. Controlled, thoughtful, and strong. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Clever Kurt does that extension light all the lights? I do like the muse being Santa and I have visions of him being like the governor handing out reprieves. A most fun read my friend.

Kurt, this feels charged and inward. It moves like a thought waking itself up, calm on the surface with heat underneath. The restraint gives it strength. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Darkness Emboldens (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, these pieces work together beautifully. The first summons the night where voices gain nerve, the second distills it into a single sensory truth. Time doesn’t just pass here…it scorches. Powerful, restrained writing. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

If Spread Or Contained
sorenbarrett said:
This poem extends the idea of genius from the intellectual to the moral and emotional. It has always been my opinion that we define it too narrowly that our limited view of intelligence sees only a small wave on the spectrum. A lovely write Kurt and a fave

Mistress Of Deception
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, I recognize this choice between motion and stillness, between direction and surrender. The question of where the Muse waits versus where the fall begins feels deeply familiar. This resonates. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Your writing is enjoyable and reminiscent of a professor I had at Berkeley, with a wealth of experience evident in your work.
Your poem speaks to universal human experiences of choice, safety, and the allure of what lies beyond stability.

Kurt, pairing these two pieces sharpens both. The meditation on wasted breath finds its counterweight in that final definition of perfection…the balance point between overflow and absence. Thoughtful, disciplined work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Behind The Fuse Box
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is precise and quietly philosophical. You let wiring, color, and time speak together, suggesting continuity even through shorting and sparks. By the end, the future feels charged by what’s already been lived. Strong, thoughtful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

sorenbarrett said:
Ah Kurt you struck a nerve and short circuited me. In reading this I remembered doing some wiring in the old house I was remodeling and the rat nest of wires in the ceiling that were red, black, white, green and yellow. I knew that the red was supposed to be hot but so too could be the white the green was supposed to be ground but with such a nest I was unsure of anything. A good read my friend and Happy New Year to you
