It’s always the little things that we sometimes don’t care or want to see and ignore!

The Muse Unrehearsed
Goldfinch60 said:
The Muse unrehearsed is so right, I sit down to write with an idea in my head but by the time I have finished the Muse has changed the meaning on many occasions.
Good write and very true.

The Muse Unrehearsed
Kurt Philip Behm said:
Nope, good questions; as most questions are. When I teach, I always tell students with so-called
\'writer\'s block\' to go LIVE some more. It\'s the raw material we all draw from. There\'s an old school of thought (which I don\'t adhere to), that says \"nothing written before the age of 40 is worth reading.\" I think it was Bertrand Russell who said it—but don\'t hold me to that.
Emily Dickinson, locked in a second floor attic, is pretty much a myth.... She lived her life vicariously through others which would never be my choice. I think, to me; that\'s why her writing has an other-wordly or ephemeral character that often wears thin.

You made me think, Kurt. Do I live to write? I know I am not writing for a living. Do I write about my living? What is more important to me, to live, or to write? Or, are all these questions stupid, irrelevant?

Eavesdropping On Myself
FredPeyer said:
I do love this poem, Kurt. Isn\'t it amazing how a song or any other event, can trigger memories we thought were long gone, and then as you say so eloquently: The past is born again.

Louis Gibbs said:
This is a deep one, Kurt, with open interpretations. Had to read it more than once, and kept forming it in my head as the cycle of death and rebirth our souls perpetually go through. Well Done, Sir!
