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\'...

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.

Kurt,

Reading this extraordinarily profound poem youā€™ve penned makes me cry out, ā€œWhy, why, and why so much pain and destruction?ā€

Hey! What an interesting and profound poem! I think I\'m realizing that each poem on this account isn\'t coming from the same person. Do you have like a school of poetry or something? šŸ˜…šŸ§šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

The Mark Of Cain
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

The title of your remarkable poem reminded me of a conversation I had with a former colleague of mine (who is Russian) about this war thatā€™s going on . She feels that not only Putin but all Russians are cursed now because they should have stopped this ruthless dictator before now. She feels theyā€™re all stained by this invasion. She says thereā€™s no where to hideā€”they will have to bear this ā€˜markā€™.

Bella Shepard said:

We create the future every day, by every action that we take, be it large or small. I can see that rifle in the sand, as you describe it, and hope that in that far distant future those who find it will leave it buried. I love this poem!

Kurt,

The ā€˜truthā€™ is ever so presentā€¦
right thereā€¦undeniable for those who will not ignore ā€¦for those who choose to seeā€¦for those whoā€™ll acknowledge it. I pray for ā€˜peaceā€™, ā€˜lifeā€™, and ā€˜hopeā€™.

Thank you for sharing your pen.

Kurt,

Brevity is ā€˜packing a punchā€™ as only you can accomplish, my dear Poet, in this brief and powerful write. Iā€™m probably repeating myselfā€¦but itā€™s worth it.
The naked aggressor ā€˜deflowering a meadowā€™ is a big mistake, IMO.
