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

The wonderful thing about writing is you can become

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.

Funny, you write about the soul here, Kurt. This is a subject I am deeply interested in. I did write a few poems relating to soul, consciousness, etc. I just love the way you look at it in your poem. The soul and the \'matter\' for want of a better word, do go together.
Your writing is exquisite, usually way above the writing on this site. And you even got it to rhyme! Kudos!

I enjoyed this Kurt. Yes, truth does reject opinion that is a great insight
if everybody realized this their truths would become more apparent and their positions not so defiant. excent write...peace

Words of truth and written with poetic assurance the read becomes a learning curve Kurt - I admire the imagery used in the first line. First class piece of work.

A haunting poem, Kurt, that makes one ponder what life\'s promise really is, and if we will ever know.

I would say yes to the first three stanzas, and the flame will keep on burning!
Love your writing, Kurt, not only for the beautiful presentation, but the deeper meanings. Your poems always make me think and ponder, and isn\'t that what poems are all about; beauty and meaning!

10 Steps
FredPeyer said:
I like this, Kurt. Am trying to figure out where I stand. I know I had omniscience when I was a teenager!
Equanimity was never a strong side, too much of a temper. Through the years acquired at least some perspective and cognition. Was never able to handle prescience, while intuition is something that seems to come and go. Am still waiting for elevation and nirvana!
Kurt, I really like this poem!
