Dear Kurt,
Wow! šŸ¤© You definitely piqued my interest to know more about Juan Manuel Fangio.

For certain a special and an amazing individual.

Loved the entire poem, especially

the sweetest
of wineā€

Martyrs & Clowns
L. B. Mek said:

\'of legacy we quest
in water\'s, muddied by circumstance
since before, birth\'..
Poesy as our window to questions
that unveil
what Truth, we\'re afforded in life...
A great write!

\"Blessed Be The Meek\"
L. B. Mek said:

Amen!
(\'The meek shall inherit the Earth\'
well then, as like Seamus Heaney
with our snug, QWERTY keys
upon fingertips that dream
let\'s get digging
inking, in search of that most perfect-fit
syllable
to farm our blank pages of poetic
chance
and unearth that good, good
turf, awaiting
cloistered and battered, in our heart\'s...)

The First Daffodil
L. B. Mek said:

Brilliant!
\'The whirlwind dharma
that so haunts my dreams\'
(Wu Wei quietude, escapist dogma
to juxtapose, mind\'s zeal for chaos)

Before The Fall
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Dear Kurt,

ā€¢ ā€œBefore The Fallā€
ā€œThe mirror once broken
ā€”each crack filled with painā€

These words reminded me of a recent faux pas I regretfully made.


ā€¢ ā€œInvisible in natureā€ā€¦

A powerful force within us that will
ā€œrise to the surface
when conflicts beginsā€

This reminds me so much of Cutty.

LaurašŸŒ» said:

Dear Kurt,
If we perceive ourselves as victims, then weā€™ll remain as such.

ā€™woe is me, woe is meā€™
If weā€™re in a deep funk, we have to do something about it.
Hereā€™s where we need a tiramisĆ¹ā€¦and I donā€™t mean the dessert!

LaurašŸŒ» said:

Dear Kurt,
An impressive piece of writing.
Letting our guard down is dangerous. Beware of the devilā€™s many devices/tools with which he attempts to influence us.
They are disguised in many forms.
Pay attention to that
ā€˜devil at your heelsā€™
as my wise Mom would caution.

Black Seed
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Dear Kurt,
A gem of a poem.

ā€œThe past beyond hope
ā€”the future beguiledā€

Your ending to ā€œBlack Seedā€ reminds me of a conversation I once had with a relative of mine.
I ended the conversation with the following words:
Care and caution can prevent crash and burn.
