On Sale For Thee (+2)
FredPeyer said:
First one: Love it. It is so scary to suddenly see your innermost feelings in that storefront window!
Second one: Am still thinking! :-)
Third one: In my case, flying into the sun, my dreams and wishes would probably just burn up!

Great coming of age image of a boy. It says so much in so little and he already forms in our head as a great guy to come...........

Wow, nice. The words have a nice weight to them. It\'s like an epitaph. (Whatever epitaph means...) I like

I felt very close to the first poem, really like \'My stone to drag\', and love the last two lines in \'Her right\'.

FredPeyer said:
Kurt, were you writing about me? Especially the \'memory on the run\' sounds familiar! There are nights like that, you penned it accurately and eloquently. Beautiful choice of words. Love the line \'lonely with the dawn\'. Agree with Diamond, this has to be a favorite.

Waiting In The Cold
FredPeyer said:
Beautifully written, Kurt, love your word choices and combinations like \'taking a knee before the night\' sounds nearly like a marriage proposal! Or \'day surrendering light into submission\', a subtle, yet forceful way of describing the onset of night. What can I say, you are good!

The Ending Assured (+1)

No pain....no gain
Love the way you concentrate it to the essentials. Every word counts, no fillers. In my humble opinion, excellent as always!

Naked Joy (+1)
FredPeyer said:
Did not see the second one on my phone. It is beautiful and so much wisdom! Unfortunately, I think, both fear and prejudice are handed down to the kids, sometimes maybe even unknowingly, by parents behavior and talk.

Read the title, was looking forward to read about skinny dipping. Should have known you would write about something much more beautiful and intellectual! :-)

There are very few poems that take away my words. This one did. I am blown away and all I can do is make it a favorite. I also printed it out to put on my wall so I can read it over and over again. Nuff said!

Can You / Will You (+1)
FredPeyer said:
I just love your \'intellectual\' poems, Kurt, they make one think. On the first one I don\'t know if you want answers to your questions, or if you just want to make the reader ponder these questions.
\'Unbranded\' is such a clever play of words!

A Twisted Flow (+3)

This will rattle around in my head for a long time. Always amazed at the power and emotion you can write with. So grateful that I have you an example; is oh so many ways.
Do the lyrics that you sing
—suture tight or still bleed

A Twisted Flow (+3)
FredPeyer said:
No.1: Beautiful writing, Kurt. I seems to me that you are leaving this one wide open to any reader\'s interpretation. Don\'t know why, but the first thing that came to my mind is divorce. Where once was only one stream, there are now two and the second stanza with its malcontent and twisted flow plays right into that thought. Or maybe I am just nuts! :-)
No.2: Makes one think about the human condition. Been there - done that! Just wasn\'t able to express it as elegantly as you did.

Powerful imagery and clear result of intention to allow light into harboured darkness - - this has to one of your best Kurt. Saved to my my favourites.

Kurt, I do like this poem, had to make it a favorite!
On a lighter note, it also reminded me quite a bit about sayings we have here in Hawaii:
- Slow down, this ain\'t the mainland
- Hang ten
- If can, can, if no can, no can
- Don\'t worry, be happy

As I have come to expect from you, Kurt, a beautifully written poem. And now I have it officially from an established writer that drinking and writing goes together perfectly. Was thinking of Charles Bukowski when writing this comment.
