Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this feels measured and unflinching. The repetition builds a steady moral pressure that doesn’t shout, it insists. There’s real gravity in that. I love this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well written Kurt but I don\'t think that you can hold a politician to any of them.

The complications of the language obscure the message and lead to false conclusions. Well said Kurt

Kurt, this is clean and incisive. The restraint sharpens the truth rather than dulling it and tt lands with authority. Well done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

As Ancestors Cry
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this hits, my friend. The restraint makes the loss feel heavier, not lighter. It reads like history spoken under the breath. A powerful write. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Lock With No Key
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, there’s a quiet courage in how you let the question stand. The belief is present, the proof absent, and you don’t rush to reconcile them. That unresolved space feels intentional and true…and it impacts. A powerful, thoughtful piece, my friend. Happy Sunday! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

sorenbarrett said:
A great poem my friend about an intriguing question that all depends on how one defines consciousness. If awareness defines it then certainly there is but if one builds in a self limiting aspect of language then maybe not. It is interesting how man has a way of building tests of consciousness and intelligence that are confined to his own aspects. Maybe we should step outside ourselves and open our eyes to the fact that there other ways to look at the world.

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! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

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, 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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

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
