I does seem that the best poems are those that use metaphor or words in combinations uncommonly used to catch attention and open resistive minds to seeing things in ways not commonly seen. A wonderful write Kurt.

Mind provoking everyone thinks of speeding ourselves up beyond the speed of light but slowing light down would it not accomplish the same thing? A great read.

It’s stark, hopeful, and honest. The rhythm of confession meets the pulse of renewal…a generational mirror with both cracks and light. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Three poems, one echoing spirit. Each reads like a small prayer whispered into the wind...part lament, part benediction. Pure distilled Kurt. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It is good advice to whisper when you wish to be heard. The whisper attracts attention and all will listen. Another good read

Kurt, this poem burns with righteous precision…a mirror held to envy disguised as critique. Sharp, rhythmic, and fearless…it doesn’t flinch from calling the devil by name. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt I feel this one deeply. In such poetic form you have described the process. How often I have had critics words dissect a poem\'s lines not understanding its meaning. Criticized for it not being descriptive enough when it\'s meant to be vague, for lack of color when the meaning is black and white, when taking it for a mere description when it is a metaphor. We are not responsible for a critic\'s lack of understanding. It took too long before they understood van Gogh\'s paintings and Melville\'s masterpiece
