Trophy Writes
Cheeky Missy said:
Having earned trophies my mother displayed too many decades ago, I lost my appetite for such items, and applause was more interesting than worthwhile, praise not really effective. This is a charming portrait of reality beautifully rendered with a poignancy whose chilling note is aptly expressed. Thank you for sharing. I never could like allpoetry.com very much for all the regulations and lack of I dunno, community? Anyway. Thank you for sharing.

I can relate to this piece. I haven\'t been on All Poetry for quite a while. I\'m no longer a paid member.
I think I managed level 15. Won a few, lost a lot.
Nicely written - Syd 🍄

What a cutting piece, Kurt. You expose how chasing literary recognition can turn creation into performance and language into merchandise...leaving technically chosen words with nothing human burning inside them. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I have read some that seemed on the surface fine but lack soul. Never enter them and as such am relegated to level three on All poetry. A great write that strikes right at the heart of many sites. People parading with medals on their paper vests. Good one Kurt and another fave

Life\'s Betrayal
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a fierce piece, Kurt. The literary posturing cannot conceal a person fleeing from themselves, while the speaker sees through the invitation to descend with them...sharp, unsparing, and deeply affecting. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Time Bereft
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a haunting little poem, Kurt. Memory, aging, and darkness all fold together into something very quiet and final...almost like time erasing its own footprints. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What a beautiful meditation, my friend. The loneliness here does not feel hopeless...it feels directional, almost like the soul recognizing what it was made to reach toward. Really lovely, Kurt. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

What a strong piece, my friend. The hatred may be taught and recycled, but what we share runs deeper than any of it…and that truth makes the division feel even more tragic. Excellent write, Kurt. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

One must ask if one\'s creator does not hate them or why else would things be the way they are. Well done Kurt

A beautiful write Kurt where prejudice of any difference is a judgement against the offender not the one offended. Sad that nature seems that way. Even chickens have a pecking order against all weaknesses or differences.

I enjoy your writing. Your poem speaks to a universal audience but focuses on the shared experiences of people of different races, hinting at the shared struggles against racism.

Memories Of The Houseboat On Your Birthday Again This Year
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, I know how certain dates can pull us back into relationships and histories we thought we had survived. Memory does not always honor the distance time has created. This landed deeply, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Debted Bliss
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, what a powerful portrayal of concealment as an accumulating obligation. Remaining unseen offers protection, yet every borrowed day demands another portion of the self...a painful tension I know all too well. Brilliant work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Dark Path
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this carries a relentless sense of entrapment. The movement from outward peril into inward captivity reveals the deepest barrier within the traveler…I have known seasons when every attempt at progress only pulled me deeper into myself. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this carries a hard-earned wisdom. The pairing of opposites gives every brief movement weight...what transforms us also leaves its mark upon us. You captured that complicated truth beautifully, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
