Kurt, this carries weight. The spark, the flame, the blaze...all stack like a litany, urging life over ruin. That turn...โ€œdonโ€™t be the kindling, become the treeโ€...amen. Beautifully done, my friendโ€ฆa vision of growth and preservation. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

Three For Monday (+1)
Tristan Robert Lange said:

Monday\'s triumphant triptych, that closing line in โ€œBetwixt & Betweenโ€ really stayed with meโ€ฆโ€œgood orphaned with badโ€ lingers like a verdict. It seals the whole piece with force. Beautifully done, my friend. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

Three good writes I identify with the first that just seems to be part of me. The second there is no prejudice in a foxhole and religion united by the sword. The third where opinions not realities when it comes to perception and values. Lovely Kurt

Fate\'s Niagara (+1)
sorenbarrett said:

A sense of being pulled helplessly in the the first poem and the knowledge that time will work out the truth in the end in the second. Very nicely put in poetic form Kurt

Reading this felt like sitting in that liminal spaceโ€ฆbetween sleep and reckoning, between quiet and the light that comes too soon. You captured that tension powerfully, Kurt. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ› 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 โ€œkilling time without wounding eternityโ€ that stopped me. Both poems carry that same tension...present beauty pressed against the void. Strong work. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›
