It Wasn\'t Love ...
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a haunting piece, Kurt. The spare structure, measured pauses, and emotional restraint create an ache far greater than the poem’s size. It reached into some painfully familiar territory for me...beautifully done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this is one heck of a poem! Brief, ominous, and darkly playful...you make moral ruin sound disturbingly well-organized. Brilliant work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Eclipsed In The Moment
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Kurt, this deeply moved me. Each stanza strips away another human assurance…speech becomes silence, hope becomes formation, time becomes a suspended instant, and every journey confronts its inevitable end. Magnificently haunting work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Judas Thaddeus
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Wow, Kurt…this is subtle, scathing, and incredibly well constructed. That religious turn gives the betrayal one final, devastating twist. Excellent poem, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem dwells on potential and I doubt that hell is full of good intentions as they say but full of bad ones that may have turned out all right for another. Nicely written Kurt

DelMarVa Dream

Wow, Kurt...what a fascinating pairing. The first gives me room to breathe, while the second comes roaring in with accusation and fire. That contrast across the years makes these especially compelling together. Excellent work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Lost Dominion
Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a haunting piece, Kurt! Time, place, and permanence become unreliable, leaving the soul stranded within its own shadowed territory. From there, temptation does not need to find us...it is already calling from inside. Brilliantly done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I love this one Kurt how many people use that term nowhere, nothing or nobody. None are true or apply just like never they are the infinity that is unattainable. Well done my friend

A great poem Kurt where checks and balances are supposed to guard against abuse but also leads to bottlenecks and traffic jams in change. Well done

Kurt, this really grabbed me. Even without knowing Fangio’s story, the poem captures that moment where instinct has to take over and thinking gives way to doing. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
