Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Life is full of seasons. This is a season of transition for me, where I will be moving with my family to a new location. As such, with much logistics to consider, I am doing my best to keep up. Please know if I accidentally don't respond, it is not because I am ghosting or becoming distant. Once things settle after the move, I am sure life will return to some normalcy. In the meantime, and always:
Read π, Write βοΈ, Rise π , Realize π€―.

When a sudden overwhelm hits so hard it can floor both mind and bodyππ»ποΈ
Thanks, arqios. Sadly, I think a lot more people know that feeling than we realize. Appreciate you spending some time with the poem. ππ«οΈπ«₯π
I have seen this mechanical as well as emotional. Nicely illustrated with your format. Well done Tristan
Thanks, Soren. This was definitely one where the shape of the poem mattered as much as the language. Always grateful for your thoughtful reads, my friend. ππ«οΈπ«₯π
Always most welcome my friend
I love how you always play with the structure and format of these things we call words and letters⦠great poem
Thanks, Demar. I never want the formatting to be there just to be clever. If it's doing its job, it's helping tell the story. Really appreciate you, my friend. ππ«οΈπ«₯π
Wonderful words my friend
I appreciate you, Norman. Thanks for reading and for the kind words, my friend. ππ«οΈπ«₯π
much enjoyed
A well-written poem.A powerful feeling trapped in one's mind with life. I know this so well, my friend. Your poem deals with themes of crisis, paralysis, and the overwhelming nature of negative emotions or situations. It evokes a sense of being trapped or overwhelmed, unable to take action or think clearly. God your not alone, my friend.πβ€οΈπ
Thanks, Friendship. I hate that you've known that kind of paralysis too, but I'm grateful we can remind each other we're not alone. Much appreciated, my friend. ππ«οΈπ«₯π
No danger of the spinach market collapsing with Popeye around! lol.
π€£ Leave it to Popeye to single-handedly prop up the global spinach economy! ππ«οΈπ«₯π
A very deep and sincere write, not at all casual)
Thank you, my friend. I'm glad the sincerity came through. That means a lot to me. ππ«οΈπ«₯π
