Dark Consensus

Kurt,

• ā€œDark Consensusā€

A well penned truth.

A lot of singing ā€˜to the choir’ is happening these days. šŸ˜‰

Buried Alive (+1)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

Reading ā€œFlotsam & Jetsamā€ has made me think of some eulogies I’ve heard and wondered how the deceased, if he/she were alive listening to their eulogy, would react.

I enjoyed reading your two gems.

A Hobo\'s Last Prayer
jarcher54 said:

Very rich imagery, a little elusive, yet clear. I had to go back to the title. I enjoy how the title enriches the poem. I found myself wondering if the speaker would catch that last ride \"home.\"

Fantasia
L. B. Mek said:

hindsight often has the luxury of relaxed perspectives, that the turmoil of existence in the now -between one hurdle and the next bite of sustenance we must hunt - doesn\'t allow,
so naturally we are flawed creatures but that undeniable truth, of yearning to be the best we can be, has merit in its own right I think
so we must accept and appreciate ourselves, before others can do the same for us
engaging writing, asking necessary questions

It may well, be a false legacy but when my wife passed recently she became a bigger part of my memory.

The Quiet Roar
jarcher54 said:

Nicely done... you evoke many thoughts, emotions, sounds, and even possible plots-- who is down under, what do they cry, why is there thunder and that precise moment? In so few elegant words.

The Veil
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

• ā€œThe Veilā€
I’ve read this a few times. Each time I read it,
I try to imagine a
ā€˜truth wrapped in a lie’.

ā€˜the truth wrapped in a lie’
— six powerful words.

Kurt,

Yes, at times we are our own worst enemies! Must be aware of that inner villain and not let it get the best of us!

Writers
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

I always welcome the opportunity for
ā€œā€”new roads to be shownā€

So thank you
my dear writer for
ā€˜taking’ yours truly
onto the freeway
ā€˜where alone’
I sometimes choose
not to ā€˜go’ !

This is very relatable and
very much to my liking.

Abandoned Tears (+1)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

Another ā€˜Dreamsleep’ gem!

Like rubbing salt in a wound...
No matter how much we cry,
No matter how much we give,
The pain is always there!

Kurt Philip Behm said:

Thanks and no \'with\' is correct. Not being able to sleep \'with\' fury and shame.

I like your poem overall.

Sorry if this sounds picky but did you mean with(out) fury and shame?
