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.

A poem that says one thing but implies another. Nicely composed my friend

One Final Bow
Tristan Robert Lange said:
This graceful farewell feels like a quiet triumph…a final bow that’s more beginning than end, and I dig that. The “eternity clapping” line is just beautiful…turning the close of one stage into the opening of another. Loved this one a lot, Kurt. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Now Is Forever
Tristan Robert Lange said:
My friend, this one feels like holding a firefly in cupped hands...fleeting, luminous, and somehow eternal in its glow. I love how you let “prescience—recalled” loop the reader back into the paradox of time, where the now and memory collapse into one. It’s minimal but potent…a moment you can almost taste in the air. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Well done.

Language a sharp tool one can inadvertently do damage to self and others. It can be missaid, misheard, and misunderstood. A great read my friend

This poem has a haunted feeling as if disconnected in space by a dreamland. On hold one waits in silence as the trains speed by. A lovely write Kurt

Well done on the pertinence of the truth in the first two lines. Very profoundly true/ and well done on the tone and rhyme and word placement in the structure. Interesting piece. Sincerely, Elizabeth
