Kurt,
Thought provoking poems.
Three āDreamsleepā standing on their own merits; however, I can see a relatability among the them.

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!

Kurt,
When I saw the title of your poem, āDiphthongā, I remembered how challenging it was for me to learn English. (Sorry for digressing a bit.)
ā¢ āDiphthongā
āPeople are people
āand 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¢ āDrums Through The Brambleā
āAtheist or Pagan
contrast to compare
the first in self-worship
āthe 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 professionāteaching.
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\'...

The Mark Of Cain
Lauraš» 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 thatās 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 theyāre all stained by this invasion. She says thereās no where to hideāthey will have to bear this āmarkā.

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!
