Kurt,

I spy a challenge in your first-rate poem; hereā€™s my feeble attempt to your challengeā€¦

A poet I am not,
a dreamer I am
todayā€™s regrets are
tomorrowā€™s satisfactions

Thank you for sharing, my dear Poet.

Kurt,

Thought provoking poems.

Three ā€˜Dreamsleepā€™ standing on their own merits; however, I can see a relatability among the them.

Kurt,

ā€œBrevity is a virtue of language.ā€

Considering what is going on at the present time, youā€™re spot on with your penned words.

Complimentiā€¦
Sei il Maestro della tua arte.

Exactly. I love the way you can convey such meaningful messages through such succinct poems. Each step we take and our position in life all boils down to our past decisions and what we will eventually choose to do. Great job!

Thanks, Iā€™ve always loved that word but havenā€™t had the chance to use it much.

LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

When I saw the title of your poem, ā€˜Diphthongā€™, I remembered how challenging it was for me to learn English. (Sorry for digressing a bit.)

ā€¢ ā€œDiphthongā€
ā€˜People are people
ā€”and a fool is but a foolā€™

I wonder how many readers would have thought of that befitting title for your two line poem. IMO, not many. After all You are the master of your craft, my dear Poet.

ā€¢ ā€œDrums Through The Brambleā€
ā€˜Atheist or Pagan
contrast to compare
the first in self-worship
ā€”the second awareā€™

Flowing and smoothā€¦a delight to read. I enjoyed the rhyme, rhythm and the contrasting and comparing of the subject matter. It took me to one of my favorite professionā€”teaching.

Thank you for sharing.

Reaching For Xanadu
L. B. Mek said:

were it not
for our self-stifling chains
binding our poetic dreams
to mere mortal streams
than, pure poetry\'s
innate river\'s
of limitless elemental essence
of interdimensional, intergalactic creativity
and irrespective
of Time, Trend or Tangibility\'s
restraints;
what poetic gaiety
would our words contain..
were we Truly, free
to chase after Coleridge\'s Xanadu, mirage realms
or Shelley\'s Skylark, of fleeting poetic expression
what wondrous imagination
we could distil and share
with this
our beleaguered and stunted world...
but whilst, one of us
still chooses
\'To Reach\'
like you, dear Kurt
can we not all, grip
your tailcoat
and strive, to soar
within Poetry\'s, most
instinctive peak clouds
of \'Wordsworthian or egotistical sublime\'...

Kurt,

Just left MSKā€¦turned on my iPhoneā€¦and thereā€™s your posting which Iā€™ve just read. Another amazing, but necessary writeā€¦with heartbreaking effects.
Iā€™m thankful for your shares because it brings to the forefront what really matters in the insane world of ours. Our personal situation canā€™t compare to whatā€™s happening.
