A great contrast in this poem about how everybody wants things good for them but doesn\'t want to admit it. Well written Kurt

Just Three
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Reading this felt like sitting in that liminal space…between sleep and reckoning, between quiet and the light that comes too soon. You captured that tension powerfully, Kurt. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Well done. A fave.

Very nice Kurt yes in hunting that was a rule to hunt the hunter you must become him. This works as a metaphor as well and loved the word play on prey

Love plays on words and this is a pile of inversions. Funny I was writing one today on language as well. Good one Kurt

Tropic Of Capricorn (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
It was the pairing of “killing time without wounding eternity” that stopped me. Both poems carry that same tension...present beauty pressed against the void. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Indeed so it seems that it is. A great use of word repetition in different senses. Well done Kurt

Mt. Zero-Sum (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
That line “its summit has a thousand fathers, whose abyss awaits the orphan” really lingers. A chilling contrast that deepens the whole piece. Strong work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🦇🐦⬛

Now this one made me think. The mountain had a cloud surrounding it and since it would not come to Mohamud he had to go to it. Nice one Kurt

A poem of doing what we are able and looking up to those that can do more. Lovely

To The Wind
arqios said:
A stark, minimalist farewell; each clipped stanza sharp with restraint, yet laced with quiet triumph. The repeated refusal (“I’m not going to…”) turns absence into empowerment, while the final image casts the relationship adrift with finality. A concise, cutting release carried off on the wind.
