Grandchildren and M/C Travel are the only two things that can

My Searching Begins
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Thanks Laura, and you\'re right, Sammy & Bumpers went into hiding because Santa\'s
naughty Elf, Knothead, makes his appearance on Thanksgiving weekend every year.

Knothead hunts through the house late at night in search of Hershey Kisses and then
leaves the strewn wrappers all over the second floor. This year he lost one of his little black boots making his escape, and my youngest grandson, Braden, found it at the top of the back stairs.

The hunt continues.

My Searching Begins
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

A super poem!
It sounds magical!
As I read it,
I envisioned Sammy and Bumpers peeking in and enjoying watching the Behm family celebrate the love for one another and the many blessings bestowed upon them on Thanksgiving Day and throughout the year!

An exquisite read! Thank you for sharing! Always appreciated!

Beyond The Sash
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

This is absolutely beautiful, enlightening and liberating! Itā€™s like releasing that precious dove and let it fly into freedom!

I read it to my aunt! She asked me to read it to her each morning...like a prayer! She wants to be reminded of and remember all that she has been blessed with throughout her lifetime. She wants it as part of her eulogy when she leaves us!
That brought tears to my eyes!

Thank you for this awesome share!

To Dance With The Muse

Beautifully expressed words you\'ve chosen that dance through the verses.

Wonderful imagery that will last after the last song has played. :-)

Kurt,

Super writes! I appreciated them all!

ā€¢ ā€œCyber Unlearnedā€
The bends will always be there. Itā€™s up to us to deal with them the best way we can!
ā€˜Manipulating realityā€™ is like trying to fool Mother Nature!

ā€¢ ā€œChanged Into Songā€
Youā€™ve asked many great questions. I hope the smiles donā€™t pass me by and most of those puzzle pieces will fit just fine! Iā€™ve embraced this change of fate and itā€™s a wonderful song to sing!

ā€¢ ā€œHard Wonā€
Itā€™s so true that
ā€œWe can all think
differently
While instantaneously feeling
the sameā€

ā€¢ ā€œForgotten Lordā€
That prophetā€™s voice cannot be ignored.

The Garden Burning
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

Kurt, this is an impressive write.

My interpretation is this poem begins (with a world before time as we know it) in the Garden of Eden.

I suspect the two lovers were Adam and Eve and the lust to deceive defines their eating from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.

Just my take, but either way I loved it. :-)

I wrote her character based on many Native American Elders

Kurt,

ā€¢ Ptesan - Wi
I remember the quote very well from your phenomenal novel, ā€œ ā€˜Revenge Along The War Trailā€™ ā€! A must read for anyone who hasnā€™t! I gifted my copy to a dear friend!

Needless to say, the other three writes are super! I enjoyed them immensely!

Perfectly stated with your choice of brilliant metaphors...

ā€œUntil we get off the river and back on dry land,
Chamberlain Falls will continue to pull

Superb!

Creation Redeemed (+2)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Three extraordinary poems! I can see a common thread throughout...a lifeline, so to speak!

ā€¢Can I love without pain?
ā€œCum Aetateā€...the pain diminishes!

ā€¢After Midnightā€”creation redeemed
A new day to cherish!

ā€¢Cum Aetate
Sensibility and appreciation

Loved all three!
Thank you!

~Laura~

Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

Kurt, your poems continue to amaze me. I loved both.

There is always food for thought in each line you pen and you leave it up to the reader to interpret them as they choose.

The last line in the second poem expresses the downside of love or the half-empty glass.

Thanks for posting.
