Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Every once and a while, or more often than one wants to admit, they need a bit of a mental vacay. Right now is that time for me. See you soon! 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Intended to be a visual poem viewed as is. Due to MyPoeticSide's image size limitations, I have included the full text below:
They are rather ODD.
They are rather ODD.
Yeah, like with a capitol †
Completely odd.
Yeah. He is.
But he,
Queer as they might be,
is quite the nice
Queer as they might be,
is quite the nice
Devil.
No?"

Creative and most enlightening to the mind of one that wishes to see. Nicely done and a fave
Exactly, Soren...that’s all we can hope for...that someone might want to see. Appreciate you taking the time to engage, my friend. Your support means more than you know. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
My pleasure Tristan
Its Great to see other creative ways to deliver your work, and this is creative and enjoyable read
Appreciate that, my friend. Always means a lot coming you, Tobani. I mean that. Glad this one spoke to you. Have a great day. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
You are very welcome
Some doodles? Does, erm, Popeye doodle? We know we can't answer that here! lol.
Well, I can confirm he tattoos, if that counts? I would share his portfolio…but 😅
Excellent write Tristan
Thank you, Tony. Always appreciated, mate! 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
You're welcome
I guess the aberrations begin with the "t," since "odd" doesn't have any such letters, but then my sleep-starved mind reckons that "just to a T" or the like is intended, and as ever tis, the naughtiest boys are such cuties, ergo the devil line? Interesting and excellently rendered with fascinating imagery and a familiar, yet curious poignancy. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Missy. I appreciate you engaging with this...and indeed it is...well...odd. 🤣 Yes, I through in the \"capitol\" t to be playful, but it also can represent \"systems\" hence capitol instead of capital, and the lower case t is being both facetious and carrying the weight of crucifixion (a form of capital punishment). Still, I did not expect people to get that necessarily, but figured I would give you the benefit of knowing what was in my head at the time! Regardless, this one is way open to interpretation and I am thankful for your time with it, especially running on a lack of sleep. Always grateful my friend. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Too familiar with the use of a crucifix, I deliberately avoided it since methinks I was taught to avoid such symbols, rather taught to be what you aught not wear symbols which can and are misused. Thank you for clarifying!
Ah. Interesting. You are most welcome, Missy. Thank you for sharing as well. Each of our backgrounds would make volumes of poetry books, would they not? I am always fascinated to learn of others experiences and I do thank you for sharing yours. I hope you have a beautiful day my friend. I am taking a bit of a \"mental health\" day today, but will be back on fully tomorrow. 🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Now that's what we calla revelation around these here parts .. I luv it when ya scribble dirty .. Neville
An interesting commentary on judgement, the contradictions that lie within the restricted minds who equate oddness with devilishness and cannot distinguish or identify the beauty, creativity, majesty & integrity of those of us considered odd or different. It is very clever dialogue with the reductively confused who dabble in light judgemental contradictions without even understanding the gravitas of their own judgemental assumptions. I love the text it connects you with the words in an authentic manner. I may have missed the mark Tristan but I found this to be very witty and clever indeed! Sharp and lighting social commentary. Well done! Elizabeth
