Its Scar Now Yours To Love (Blues Poem #12)
Heather T said:
Sing it cuz you lived it. Poetry is the same. History is as much, just a long series of scars. And then, sometimes even the hoodoo man gets hoodoo\'ed.

A great thought provoking piece. Unfortunately too many of us scratch the scars instead of learning to love them.

Crazy Horse Calls
Kurt Philip Behm said:
Thanks. We were all born with a \'vision\' inside. Life\'s journey
is about finding yours.
I wrote a book years ago, \'Searching For Crazy Horse,\' about my
40-year ride (by motorcycle) through the Rocky Mountain West.
After several years I heard this voice in my ear. Someone was riding
on the bike behind me.
Once I opened up to that voice, everything changed. I spent a lot of
time at Pine Ridge (Oglala Reservation the size of Connecticut), in
South Dakota while writing the book.
That bike (96 Goldwing) now has 180k miles on it. I\'m due back in the
mountains in six weeks.

I may be wrong, but what I see in your beautifully written poem is what is happening to all of us when we penn words with no idea where they came from. Now I know I only have to look for the \"Crazy Horse\"!

I really like the use of enjambment and the soft consonant sounds; it makes for a really easy read including out loud.
I also really like that use of caesura in that last stanza, it really makes the ending pop.

A tribute? Sonny Boy? I\'m just throwing out guesses. You\'re fantastic and I\'m sure you already know that. Poets sing all kinds of blues.

Beyond The Gleam (+1)
Kurt Philip Behm said:
Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood have been together in various bands
for over 50 years. They are both the best at what they do, and seem to
finish each others musical sentences.
Together—at Madison Square Garden—they gave a concert for the ages.

To me, this describes beautifully the journey from ego to self, the difficult journey we must all eventually undertake. Well done, Kurt!
