Kurt, this really moved me. Though each piece stands on its own, together they feel like fragments from the same journey...living between places, wrestling with uncertainty, searching for direction, and refusing to stop moving forward. What I especially admire is how much emotional and philosophical weight you manage to pack into so few words. Wonderful collection, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this hit me hard. My father flew Hueys in Vietnam, so the moment I saw that image, I was there with the poem. The combination of the helicopter and the ticking clock is especially powerful...both become reminders that every mission carries uncertainty. A compact poem that carries a tremendous amount of weight. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

You have outdone yourself this time Kurt all of them are wonderful but the last has the greatest power for me as a personal poem that I can identify with. It speaks to pride a deadly sin. And though I am not religious and don\'t even believe in sins it still speaks with a thunderous voice. As I read these each one seemed as good as the last and seemed to be my favorite until I reached the last.

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

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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

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.
