The Incarcerated Word (+2)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

Three fantastic writes!

“The Incarcerated Word” resonates of what’s going on in our universities today!


“The present now an echo between two lies”...
Powerful words with which I agree!


“And born I was despite myself”...
This is a great line!

I enjoyed the reads very much. All three with powerful messages!

Last Bullet (+3)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

Incredible poems!

The first poem fascinates me because each time I read it, I have a different interpretation! After the first read, it felt like the first time I experienced a panic attack! After the second read, it felt like I was remembering the time I gave birth to my son where I almost died due to an anesthesiologist’s error! There are more examples, but I won’t bore you with them!

“Stars & Stripes”...
Celebrating freedom!
I will never forget the night I disembarked the ship that brought me to America and saw the Statue of Liberty for the first time (and the Domino sign)!

“Last Tear”...
This one has several very personal meanings for me!

“Cancer”...
This one is relatable to many of us.
For me, too many names to list.
Actually, at the moment, my 40 year old friend is receiving chemo treatments for breast cancer!

More A Feeling (+3)
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Yes— if memory serves— I think it was that concert. I was
actually going through Brooklyn on the train on my way to
New Hampshire to see my Grandchildren.

Sorry about the \'killer thief.\'

It\'s always a thrill when you read what I write.

Thanks

Checks You Can\'t Cash
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

I’ve enjoyed reading this thought provoking write! Many questions! I will engage in one...

I try to make it a conscious effort not to write any checks I can’t cash!

Interesting Lasts (+8)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

I enjoyed reading all the poems!

Of course, there are a few favorites!

I especially favor “Interesting Lasts”.

I’ve been good...
(so they say)
I’ve been bad...(so I say)
now I hope I’m of interest...
(We shall see!)

We can have lots of fun with words...
especially at night!
“Having fun with words,
the party lasted till dawn”

Don’t get burned while seeking the light!

I like the structure of “Our Fated Selves” and its relatable message !

Let us be aware of that “Hangman’s Noose”!

Excellent and intriguing poems!
Challenging reads...
to say the least!

Can You (+9)
poetboy123 said:

I have a slightly differing opinion than GON (not that I believe his to be any less than my own). Art and politics are two things that cannot be separated, and although there are some pieces that express their political views through art, I find nothing inherently wrong or disparaging about it. Art can\'t be defined, it serves as a form of expression about our politics, culture, overall identity, and it exists to display many other ideas and concepts as well. Politics is simply another lens through which we knowingly or unknowingly create our art. To finish up my rambling, I have to say bravo, all these poems were brilliant reads!

Nice write. There are a lot of people here who could use with a few of these (particularly separating their politics from their art), I feel. Myself as well.
