A rainbow on tomorrow\'s easel a promise made that points the way. Past and future only touch in the present. A nicely written gem my friend

Dog Days
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this has a really effective slow burn to it…each day quietly building the sense of heat and exhaustion until the week itself starts to feel like a creature. The simplicity works very well here, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A great catalogue of the days of the week Kurt but I thought that Sunday was for repenting. Oh I forgot for us nonchurch going folks it is Monday. A good read my friend

Life lessons From The Track
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this has real racing energy in it… short lines that hit like bursts of acceleration. The whole piece reads like track wisdom learned the hard way. Loved it, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Life lessons From The Track
sorenbarrett said:
Each one a gem. So true in any race action speaks louder than words, it is in the turns that one shows ones strength, measure and time your energy, Those that show off have little to show and when the going gets tough the tough get going. A wonderful write my friend

The Tragedy Of Fall
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this carries a beautiful melancholy… the way September begins in warmth and memory before October quietly unravels it. I can relate to this. That closing image of autumn dismantling summer lands with real weight. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Funny how all those rhyming months fall at the end of the year and not one blame rhyme afterward. A good read my friend

One way of deciphering it is : we can challenge what is before us, until the point where the final proof makes us give in. This could be one interpretation.

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, there’s something wonderfully paradoxical here…that movement from “what it isn’t” to the moment it simply becomes. The final turn feels almost philosophical, like the instant where possibility crosses the threshold into reality. A small poem with a surprisingly large echo, as it were. Well done, here. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Blues Poem #24
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this one feels like a song that never really left the rails…that wandering blues spirit moving from stop to stop. The scratchin you talk about feels deeper than the surface…more like a restlessness that follows a man wherever he goes. That mood sits heavy in the best way. Plus, you know what I think of that title…just short of a Mr. 😏 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tres Turba Est
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this hit me hard…so few words, yet the truth lands immediately. The moment trust leaves the room, the secret is already halfway gone. Sharp, clean, and quietly biting. Nicely done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Pain always a good motivator know by torture experts of the past, it is the last poem that catches me today and I would have to say it rings the bell.

Kurt, I like how these read almost like small moral reflections…brief but pointed. Pieces like this remind me how sometimes a few lines can carry a larger thought without needing a long explanation. That tension between truth and deception really runs through the set. Thanks for sharing these. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Time Hardened
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this one feels sharp and focused… the idea of memory as both weapon and guide gives the poem a strong inner tension. It reads like a quiet meditation on how the past shapes the fight we carry forward. The final line lands cleanly: “— time hardened and fast.” A concise and striking piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Nicely said so poetically. Tempered in memory\'s waters feelings become sharp and hardened but still brittle when met with extreme force in battle.

Kurt, I enjoy how these small pieces carry such distilled thought… each one feels like a quick strike of insight rather than a long meditation. “Still She Whispers” especially stayed with me. That sense of the muse speaking whether we listen or not rings very true. Strong collection of compact reflections here, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Memory Remains .. .(+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, the image of polishing the apple while the worm remains inside is such a clean metaphor… surface versus truth. It echoes through the whole first poem. Then the second piece pivots inward, where the struggle becomes hesitation itself. The ending line seals it… “my indecision walked.” Really effective restraint here. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, the idea of dying “a thousand times” while living hit me. That internal rehearsal of fear, regret, second-guessing…you distilled it cleanly. Then you pivot to choice and agency. That shift feels empowering. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
