Abandoning The Watchtower
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Bob let the genie out of the bottle and has spent the last 50 years trying to put it back in. I’m his biggest fan, but you cant say what you mean and not embody what you say.

Thanks for reading.

Abandoning The Watchtower
Bobby O said:

I won’t question the opinion you relay as I’m guessing my knowledge of Dylan would not match yours. I’ve come around to Dylan just lately after resisting for years. My first thought, counter to yours , suggests that he has been THAT GUY in an authentic way and perhaps now deserves the grace an Emiratis status might have earned , absent if the usual judgement he willingly subjected to for many years. ????

Music in reliving our memories: enjoyed the musical and piano references, it sounds like you actually play the piano. I just took a big risk this morning and published an older piece of hip hop: please enjoy if you visit the Midlife Rap

A Wounded Dog ...
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Thanks. Gwendolyn Brooks once told me the three greatest
American Poets were: Whitman, Melville, and Dickinson.

I agree.

When you bring us a \"longer\" poem like this, the density of your language and your use of words and phrases as building bocks and strategic pieces on the chessboard remind me more and more of the poetry of Melville, for which he is not well known but should be. This poem of yours brought to mind this: https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-19013

Birthrights In Limbo (+2)
Laura🌻 said:

Dear Kurt,
What a great loss!

\"The Girl From Ipanema\" was recorded by many, but no one sang it like Astrud Gilberto.

A touching tribute for the one you’re remembering and are holding on to the very special memories…
…memories by the sixteen year old whose
“eyes can still close
and return to that beach”
where his “heart she first captured
—and never released”.

Mea Culpa
Laura🌻 said:

Dear Kurt,
Your written words are ‘truer than true’!


“Each voice a memory which haunts sublime
—that unforgiven sin “

I couldn’t have expressed my thoughts/feelings better than you have.

Thank you for sharing ❣️

Moment After Moment

“Memories of the future” : it has been said that the poet is also a prophet. Thus, the poet naturally wants to look ahead and try to detect what awaits us.
“In the \"Defence\" he insists that the poet \"not only beholds intensely the present as it is, and discovers those laws according to which the present ought to be ordered, but he beholds the future in the present.\" The poet is prophet and legislator, in Shelley\'s terms, by his untiring efforts \"to set the crooked straight.\" (…..)”
\"SELECTIONS FROM SHELLEY\'S POETRY AND PROSE.\" (EDITED BY DENNIS WELLAND). LONDON : HUTCHINSON EDUCATIONAL LTD., 1961.
Full acknowledgements are made to the authors, publishers and rights-holders.
“The poet beholds the future in the present…” The poet not only looks at what happens now but is also interested about the future. Soman Ragavan. 29 May, 2023.
