Here are a grouping of several gems. Hard to say the favorite this time Kurt. In Symbiosis there is a very pertinent message for today where there is no liberty or privacy so nicely said the two intertwined. Ecoes surround also in a more individual message of today\'s society and relationships so well worded. Without the dark is such a lovely depiction of duality. Looking Deeper such a lovely social commentary I would have to say that more likely people love the way it is wrapped but hate what is in the box. That I guess depends on the perspective and whether we are referring to the idea of democracy in the box or the intent of the politicians in the box. A great set Kurt a fave

Ere Despondence
Friendship said:
A powerful poem, you made me think. Your poem “Ere Despondence” explores themes of longing, memory, and the passage of time, particularly focusing on unfulfilled desires and the emotional weight of solitude. It reflects on the impact of neglect and the yearning for connection, as represented by the garden gate that remains locked and rusted shut.

Here is represented the uselessness of one thing prepared dependent on another in disrepair. Nicely worded and such a great metaphor for modern society Kurt.

Kurt, this hits with that steady blues pulse right away…both pieces carry that lived-in feel, like they’ve been played more than written. There’s grit and rhythm baked into them. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Whippoorwill Calls
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this carries a calm kind of magic…not loud, not forced…just there. That tension between mind and feeling lands true, and the closing sense of something “forever instilled” gives it weight that stays. Beautiful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Demons Lie Waiting
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this hits with a dark intensity…there’s no easing into it, just a steady descent that feels internal and unavoidable. It carries weight from the first line through the last. Well done!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Waiting For You To Write The Music
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this carries a steady, quiet sorrow…wishing for absolution while knowing the past doesn’t loosen its grip. “An attempt to bend the reed” and that “future unforgiving” really anchor it. It’s that tension between hope and what won’t yield. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Now Kurt that sounds both musical and critical at the same time. A great sense of rhyme and meter to this one and it itself sounds musical with the beat. I like the feel of it.

Kurt, that “Trapdoor to darkness…gateway to light” line really caught me. It flips the whole poem in a breath…showing how the same question can either close in or open up. That tension is where this lives. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Blues Poem #24 (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this rides that line between freedom and something deeper…almost spiritual. “Direction but an afterthought when tracks forever lead” really anchors it, while the boxcars and music give it motion. A wonderful blast from the past my friend. An aside, 1996 was the year I met my wife. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

B.B. King, Big Mama Thornton, John Hurt, Leadbelly, Sarah Vaughn more lately Foy Vance, Beth Hart Blues the closest music to the soul A fave I thought with the first part of Boxcar Willy although not so much for the blues

Period — End
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is tight and deliberate…“excellent lies / terrible truths” sets the tension, but “— joined at the root” is what makes it land. It brings everything together into something unavoidable. Strong piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, “the crossroads of tomorrow — to enter or stay” is the line that stays with me. That tension sits at the center of so much here. And the way you vary structure across the set…some tighter, some more open…gives each idea its own space while still feeling connected. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Sleep Well My Love (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, that first piece hits hard…there’s a quiet devastation in the way everyone comes together around what was never resolved. It feels honest in a way that doesn’t try to clean anything up…just lets it stand. And that closing line stays with you. Really powerful work here. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
