Flashes from the past and the Viet Nam war the anxiety of a soldier and the turmoil of noise and wounded and dead. Well written Kurt

Kurt, this is one heck of a collection. What struck me is how each piece feels like a distilled thought...small in size, yet carrying surprising weight. From pain and hope to nature and mortality, there is a reflective quality running through all of them. Really enjoyed spending time with these, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Thanks. Every so often I take a shot back at the critics, who to me aren\'t worth
the space they take up.
Great weekend!

Another great group of poems Kurt the one that hit the hardest was Rest in peace. It made me smile and whether it was the poet or poem that outlived it makes no difference. Well done Kurt

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this speaks to that place many of us visit from time to time…caught between what is and what might be. I found myself drawn to the tension between dreaming small and daring to imagine something larger. The poem holds that space wonderfully. Great job on this, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this is one heck of a collection. What impressed me most is the versatility on display…from the emotional pull of “Leaving 69” and “Wet Tender” to the wit and observation of “The Beauty Of Nuance” and “Schematics.” Yet through all of them runs a common thread of curiosity about what it means to be human. More than anything, though, I appreciate the opportunity to spend a little time with Eddie’s voice today. Wonderful share, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This is a good one Kurt to me it speaks of that common thought (that if I could only try one more time) give me another chance. Nicely said my friend

Leaving The Past
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, what stayed with me most is \"Leaving the past / and its language / profane.\" That turn lands beautifully. It feels like a moment where words finally reach their limit and something deeper takes over. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Frozen Dreams
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, what a strong set. Door #3 especially landed for me. Those few lines capture something many writers spend pages trying to say. I also appreciated the movement from longing in Frozen Dreams to the resolve of This Day Forward. Concise, thoughtful, and packed with insight. Wonderful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This time Kurt I have to go with the first one because the wording made me smile after the buildup the line desolation row brought to line Bob Dylan and the song the simple incongruence of an ice berg and Dylan did it.

Well Kurt I did read and yes did like and some more than others. I would rank The crossroads as my favorite but closely followed by the others.

Kurt, what great collection and such a strong closing piece to them. The directness of it grabbed me immediately. There is a refusal here to chase approval, paired with an insistence on remaining open to possibility. \"Stay undefined\" especially resonated with me. The poem feels both defiant and strangely liberating at the same time. Powerful writes, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My friend, there are several strong pieces here, but \"A Raging Torrent\" is the one that stayed with me. The image of being pulled downstream by currents created by others is heartbreaking and powerful. That poem carries a real emotional weight. Well done, Kurt. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this is wonderfully concise. Each pairing feels like a small impossibility, building toward a sense of absence and incompleteness. “Night without / — dawn” is a particularly strong landing. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
