Intellectual AIDS (+5)
Nicholas Browning said:

\"The Nets Are Down\" reminds me of \"Dreams\" by Langston Hughes. A very powerful and very true depiction of what it\'s like for something to lose meaning. I very much enjoyed the read.

In The Pudding (+3)
Nicholas Browning said:

Buffalo Jump is a solid piece of art. How clever, too. Racing towards the end, how true that is. All of these are great though. I enjoyed the read, Kurt!

One Last Wish (+1)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Your first couplet is uncannily befitting at this time.

ā€˜When I think back on all the times that were
ā€”and werenā€™tā€™


Iā€™ve been stuck there for a while now. Iā€™m summoning my tiramisĆ¹ to pull me out!
Itā€™ll take some time, but Iā€™m confident it will happen!

Thank you for sharing ā€œOne Last Wishā€.
Reading it confirms much about what Iā€™ve been feeling and thinking lately. Now I have to do something about it!

For The Determinists (+5)
Nicholas Browning said:

I figured it out! I had no idea you were a professional. That actually makes a lot of sense. I knew for a fact that this type of writing required insight gained from massive bouts with many different things. Man, your writing is wicked in all the right ways. Every little line packed full of meaning, connecting with all the lines before and after.

LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Great poems!
ā€¢ ā€œWashed & Scrubbedā€...
...most interesting šŸ¤”

Your choice of words to express your thinking...
...ā€˜Intellectual hygiene...ā€™
in amazing!

ā€˜Academic consensus
ā€”the Muse in her graveā€™

I was just wondering...
has my favorite Muse gone?

Crashing The Gate
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Good Morning!
Reading ā€œCrashing The Gateā€, and all I can think of is todayā€™s visit to the cemetery. Iā€™ll be standing by my parentsā€™ ā€˜grave markerā€™ and be reminded of the day my Momā€™s casket was lowered into the ground...November 9th.
That date rang a bell...and I remembered that was the day a year ago when your Colby took his last breath! So not only do I think of my Mom, but I also think of Colby! Three more trees have been planted!

Yesterday\'s Past
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

ā€¢ ā€œYesterdayā€™s Pastā€
The clock is running...
at times, not fast enough!

ā€¢ ā€œCouplets of Rhymeā€
Loved listening to my parentsā€™ telling of fables (in Italian) which we would discuss...and hopefully learned from them.
I miss those conversations!

Thank you for sharing!

To My Face (+2)
Kurt Philip Behm said:

If you talk to people who are tied mercilessly to meaningless jobs and
lifestyles, money is the only thing that can buy them free time for themselves.

To My Face (+2)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

ā€¢ ā€œTo My Faceā€
This is so true...
and thatā€™s the way I like it!
Stabbing in the back is the cowardly way out!

ā€¢ Time is ā€œPrecious & Dearā€...
unfortunately, money canā€™t buy it!
