Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this collection moves from existential compression to heartfelt tribute seamlessly. The philosophical fragments challenge…“Moral wounds…never close” and “Virtues become crimes” cut deep. Then “Rest In Peace Augustus McCrae” opens into something expansive and human. Duvall’s presence lingers there…stoic, wry, enduring. Strong work across the board, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

So true Kurt that is why I only belong to poetry sites and it appears that they are more full of this than I bargained for

Sound Bites: February 14th, 2026
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is a constellation of thought and feeling. Each piece stands alone, yet together they form something larger…philosophical, intimate, and stark. “Beyond the wire” especially lands with quiet force. You move from abstraction to ache seamlessly. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt once again you have posted several good poems and once again some strike me at this moment deeper than others. The last is so short but so powerful but the one that hit me most was was the first. Nicely done my friend

Rock Bottom Awaits
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, “his curtain / a hard drive” is such a clean, modern twist. That image says everything without overexplaining. You take something familiar and update it in a way that feels unsettling and real. It’s clever, but more than clever… it’s pointed. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Rock Bottom Awaits
sorenbarrett said:
And it will. Like all technologies it will have its life and then what is to come will replace it and how much will be lost in the process, no more VHS, what was lost in CDs that no longer have players, old formats in DOS gone, with each new advance in operating systems what falls through the cracks and is lost. A solar flare could erase it all. Loved the poem Kurt

Lost Verses
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this reads like a litany of reckoning. The honor in shame, the larceny of time, redemption screaming in silence…each image builds a restrained but intense moral landscape. The closing Sirens leave it suspended in warning. Great job.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, there’s a stark clarity running through these. Each piece feels distilled…no excess, just tension and release. “Alone” especially carries a cold severity that lingers. You don’t overreach…you strike and step back. Strong, controlled work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, what a thoughtful triad, my friend. From wandering wisdom to moral restraint to the honesty of the present moment, each piece deepens the last. The clarity here invites reflection. Always appreciate your voice. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this is beautifully measured. The way you let language hover between promise and absence…especially that sense of time quietly undoing certainty…feels both intimate and philosophical. A resonant piece for sure. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Language indeed is a complicated thing Kurt. In this case I am not sure if it language is ever faithful it seems to leave its seeds everywhere and seems an open womb for carrying the seed of many foreign strains.

Kurt, this is stark and cutting. The compression gives it force…every word feels sharpened, ceremonial, and unforgiving. It hits hard without excess. Well done!🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Such a lovely recounting of an ancient story where sacrifical blood is the only thing that redeems be it sins or accusations. We all need a redeemer. Lovely write Kurt

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this pairing works powerfully. The first poem races with consequence and memory, while the second distills disorientation into a single, biting truth. And wow is it a truth! 💯 Together they feel like a moral chase and its quiet, devastating punchline. Strong work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wow Kurt you need to pick up the pace and make a hard right. I heard that zigzagging may be helpful when someone is shooting at you or an alligator is after you, it might help with Old Nick he may be short sighted. A great poem that has some levity in it as well.
