Voice Of Acceptance (+1)
Laura🌻 said:

Dear Kurt,
• ā€œThe Voice of Acceptanceā€

ā€˜Time as his captor
in shoes of concrete’

• ā€œSummer Rain

ā€œ Painting with words
speaking in colors
Palette of voices
—rainbow Divineā€

This literary technique of metaphors that you masterfully utilize is most powerful. They facilitate the reader’s understanding of the abstract.

Captivating poetry…to say the least!

Ashes In Shame (+1)
Laura🌻 said:

Dear Kurt,
Wow…the first word that popped in my head when I read these two poems .

• ā€œAshes In Shameā€

ā€˜And the serfs will rise up
in an infamous rage
The despots left burning
—their ashes in shameā€˜

Like an archer with his bow and arrow, you’ve masterfully hit the bullseye; especially with this one.

• ā€œNever Askā€¦ā€
Yes, indeed…
You are the consummate poet!

My admiration and appreciation for your work will never cease.

Wherever I go,
Wherever I am,
A part of me
It will ever be.

Abandoning The Watchtower
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Bob let the genie out of the bottle and has spent the last 50 years trying to put it back in. I’m his biggest fan, but you cant say what you mean and not embody what you say.

Thanks for reading.

Abandoning The Watchtower
Bobby O said:

I won’t question the opinion you relay as I’m guessing my knowledge of Dylan would not match yours. I’ve come around to Dylan just lately after resisting for years. My first thought, counter to yours , suggests that he has been THAT GUY in an authentic way and perhaps now deserves the grace an Emiratis status might have earned , absent if the usual judgement he willingly subjected to for many years. ????

Music in reliving our memories: enjoyed the musical and piano references, it sounds like you actually play the piano. I just took a big risk this morning and published an older piece of hip hop: please enjoy if you visit the Midlife Rap

A Wounded Dog ...
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Thanks. Gwendolyn Brooks once told me the three greatest
American Poets were: Whitman, Melville, and Dickinson.

I agree.

jarcher54 said:

When you bring us a \"longer\" poem like this, the density of your language and your use of words and phrases as building bocks and strategic pieces on the chessboard remind me more and more of the poetry of Melville, for which he is not well known but should be. This poem of yours brought to mind this: https://mypoeticside.com/show-classic-poem-19013

Birthrights In Limbo (+2)
Laura🌻 said:

Dear Kurt,
What a great loss!

\"The Girl From Ipanema\" was recorded by many, but no one sang it like Astrud Gilberto.

A touching tribute for the one you’re remembering and are holding on to the very special memories…
…memories by the sixteen year old whose
ā€œeyes can still close
and return to that beachā€
where his ā€œheart she first captured
—and never releasedā€.

Mea Culpa
Laura🌻 said:

Dear Kurt,
Your written words are ā€˜truer than true’!


ā€œEach voice a memory which haunts sublime
—that unforgiven sin ā€œ

I couldn’t have expressed my thoughts/feelings better than you have.

Thank you for sharing ā£ļø
