This is a good one Kurt to me it speaks of that common thought (that if I could only try one more time) give me another chance. Nicely said my friend

When finished, you find the roof leaking
You tear it all down
The foundation is worth keeping

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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Frozen Dreams

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.

Well Kurt I did read and yes did like and some more than others. I would rank The crossroads as my favorite but closely followed by the others.

Kurt, what great collection and such a strong closing piece to them. The directness of it grabbed me immediately. There is a refusal here to chase approval, paired with an insistence on remaining open to possibility. \"Stay undefined\" especially resonated with me. The poem feels both defiant and strangely liberating at the same time. Powerful writes, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My friend, there are several strong pieces here, but \"A Raging Torrent\" is the one that stayed with me. The image of being pulled downstream by currents created by others is heartbreaking and powerful. That poem carries a real emotional weight. Well done, Kurt. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Kurt, this is wonderfully concise. Each pairing feels like a small impossibility, building toward a sense of absence and incompleteness. “Night without / — dawn” is a particularly strong landing. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Now this Kurt has to be a favorite it uses not opposites exactly but something that relies on something else to exist. Very nicely rhymed and constructed my friend

Kurt, this feels like a classic cautionary nursery rhyme…simple on the surface, yet carrying that quiet sadness that often hides beneath the best children’s tales. The ending lands with a surprising ache. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Dreams (+!)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, what a fascinating collection to sit with together. Your own pieces carry that restless pulse of the writing life...the need to keep chasing the next line, the next breath, the next moment of meaning. And the E.J. Hudak selections alongside them feel wonderfully alive with late-60s grit, humor, surrealism, and motion. There’s a real literary conversation happening between all these works. Powerful share, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this hit me hard...especially the opening section. That paradox of protecting children while also preparing them for pain feels painfully true and impossible at the same time. The repetition of “How do we...” carries such exhaustion and helpless love inside it. Powerful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

it is best to forget the traumas of the past, and worries about the future, and enjoy oneself living the present moment - a nice, meditative write..
