Comments received on poems by Tristan Robert Lange
Call This What You Will, I Call It Misogyny
sorenbarrett said:
A noble poem for those that are least likely to read it, a message for those that are deaf to its meaning or intent. No more parents to plant compassion in children\'s hearts, no more restraint taught. A great poem that is needed to be heard. For the message itself a fave but even more for the creativity in which it was said

A clever write! Kind of a cross between haiku and senryu, involving both nature and emotions. Nice one!

The sense of I should be feeling better the sun is out, but I still feel in the dark and alone, enjoyed the read

But those were the most inspiring images the catalogues used annually for these seasons of transition, a lonely soul in the café, looking out nowhere in particular, just searching the busy, heedless world beyond the window for that unknown something which must surely satisfy. [If only my reply were poetic I\'d be good to go, haha!] Winsomely rendered in hauntingly poignant brevity with excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing.

I love a good cozy cafe, sometimes being alone is refreshing. I like being alone but surrounded by strangers. You\'re alone but not alone; the beauty of the Anthropocene.

Such a senryu I always love when I read something that touches me and I can\'t identify why. Such is the case with this write Tristan. It reaches out of the darkness to the light and with a sense of sadness touches the ethereal.

I do get this! The seasons unawares, come and go and I’m quite taken by all of it, torn apart; hopeful but overly distraught 🙏🏻🕊

I always found the Queen in Alice and Wonderland really scary. She is just as scary in your poem Tristan. The tea and scones sound delightful though. Loved the references to Alice in Wonderland. Have a happy Thursday dear poet.

Hmm. Thinkest thou so, dear friend? What haunts every single reading of this superbly rendered history lesson is the burning, burning of the arts...for it is merely a foretaste of the promised end. As for those in power whom some of the populace cry against and others cherish, we have no record of that world obliterated in the flood, yet apparently are in headlong pursuit of reattaining the same. Food for thought, no? Thank you for sharing your expertise. Expertly rendered with excellent imagery and a fitly haunting poignancy. Thank you again.

Alice in the netherworld. Even my squirrels are polite to traffic since I begged them to be careful after seeing a squashed one. Ah, Tristan. Charmingly rendered with exquisite imagery and a damning poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Alice in wonderland was one of my favorites as a child and continues to hold a lot of charm. Through the looking glass and Lewis Carrol\'s the hunting of the Snark. Here there are continual references to Alice. Loved your ending that resolved the rest of this poem. Very nice Tristan

A tribute: To the richness of the history, about which I know nothing; the validity of our earthbound situation as depicted here, the form and the prose with which it is defined.
That form itself is something to behold, and as I struggle to publish my simple verse, I shall be forever intimidated by thoughts of your monumental effort, Tristan. 🥹

Now that is some piece of writing, knowledge has always been power, that\'s why they like to keep us minions in the dark. If we had more knowledge we would challenge that power. Regarding history it astonishes me how little some people know of the worlds history and the actual facts, if we do not acknowledge our history and learn from it, we can never make progress, a really great read

Tristan quite a write this was and a journey too. The shape of the poem pulled me along through this universe of history that I had learned long ago one of many human tragedies that have held us back where we are. A sad commentary on what one man values another sees as not just trash but evil. A wonderful write my friend.
