The Incarcerated Word (+2)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Three fantastic writes!

ā€œThe Incarcerated Wordā€ resonates of whatā€™s going on in our universities today!


ā€œThe present now an echo between two liesā€...
Powerful words with which I agree!


ā€œAnd born I was despite myselfā€...
This is a great line!

I enjoyed the reads very much. All three with powerful messages!

Last Bullet (+3)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Incredible poems!

The first poem fascinates me because each time I read it, I have a different interpretation! After the first read, it felt like the first time I experienced a panic attack! After the second read, it felt like I was remembering the time I gave birth to my son where I almost died due to an anesthesiologistā€™s error! There are more examples, but I wonā€™t bore you with them!

ā€œStars & Stripesā€...
Celebrating freedom!
I will never forget the night I disembarked the ship that brought me to America and saw the Statue of Liberty for the first time (and the Domino sign)!

ā€œLast Tearā€...
This one has several very personal meanings for me!

ā€œCancerā€...
This one is relatable to many of us.
For me, too many names to list.
Actually, at the moment, my 40 year old friend is receiving chemo treatments for breast cancer!

More A Feeling (+3)
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Yesā€” if memory servesā€” I think it was that concert. I was
actually going through Brooklyn on the train on my way to
New Hampshire to see my Grandchildren.

Sorry about the \'killer thief.\'

It\'s always a thrill when you read what I write.

Thanks

More A Feeling (+3)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Was that the Elton John Sunset Boulevard free concert?

What did you think of Brooklyn?

Yes, ā€œthe essence of life itselfā€ is ā€œbeyond what words can ever tellā€.

That ā€œkiller thiefā€ arrived nine years ago!

Your writes have been thought provoking and unbelievably relatable!

Checks You Can\'t Cash
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Iā€™ve enjoyed reading this thought provoking write! Many questions! I will engage in one...

I try to make it a conscious effort not to write any checks I canā€™t cash!

Old Embers Near Extinguished (+4)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Very special poems...

especially, ā€œIn Memoriam: Chris Kyleā€

This one made me cry!
He was...
ā€œThe best of the best
too early to restā€
May he Rest In Peace!šŸ’”

Interesting Lasts (+8)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

I enjoyed reading all the poems!

Of course, there are a few favorites!

I especially favor ā€œInteresting Lastsā€.

Iā€™ve been good...
(so they say)
Iā€™ve been bad...(so I say)
now I hope Iā€™m of interest...
(We shall see!)

We can have lots of fun with words...
especially at night!
ā€œHaving fun with words,
the party lasted till dawnā€

Donā€™t get burned while seeking the light!

I like the structure of ā€œOur Fated Selvesā€ and its relatable message !

Let us be aware of that ā€œHangmanā€™s Nooseā€!

Excellent and intriguing poems!
Challenging reads...
to say the least!

Only He (+7)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

HAPPY FATHERā€™S DAY!šŸ˜Š

This moment is definitely precious and blessed...
ā€œTo live within you
__your heart at restā€...
This sums it up very well!

All these poems have their merit; however, my two favorites of this set are ā€œHearts At Restā€ and ā€œEach Footstep Freeā€!

I realize I donā€™t know you, but they do remind me of you! Itā€™s only my humble opinion!

Enjoy your Fatherā€™s Day!

The Next Moonless Night (+5)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Iā€™m not boring myself at the moment because Iā€™m reading interesting and intriguing poems such as yours!

Yes, veracity will resuscitate!

And my legacy was born from where my destiny lies!

There is a voice thatā€™s always calling from the endless storm and the words are as loud as thunder!

Can You (+9)
poetboy123 said:

I have a slightly differing opinion than GON (not that I believe his to be any less than my own). Art and politics are two things that cannot be separated, and although there are some pieces that express their political views through art, I find nothing inherently wrong or disparaging about it. Art can\'t be defined, it serves as a form of expression about our politics, culture, overall identity, and it exists to display many other ideas and concepts as well. Politics is simply another lens through which we knowingly or unknowingly create our art. To finish up my rambling, I have to say bravo, all these poems were brilliant reads!

Nice write. There are a lot of people here who could use with a few of these (particularly separating their politics from their art), I feel. Myself as well.

A Brotherhood To Share (+7)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,
Eight new gems. Brilliant writes!

Friends are worthwhile having...true friends that is!
It seems your tent has been pitched for quite a while! Lucky for us!

That one thing?...
TRUE LOVE...for me...
clear and specific!
ā€œNever Destituteā€...
Your gift of words enriches our lives!
ā€œAll loneliness filled by pages lined with happiness and joy,ā€

You are definitely a master of the word. Let that ink run so weā€™ll never be alone! All it takes IS one word for new meaning to captivate us!

Are we really in a ā€œComa of denial and no longer freeā€?...
I suppose so...if we wish to bury our head in the sand!

So Hard Undefined (+5)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Superb writes!
Each poem has its own merit.
Iā€™m especially drawn to
ā€œLoveā€™s Denialā€.
A bittersweet short verse.
So much said with a few words!

Capstone Reversed (+2)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,
You have a knack for tugging at the readerā€™s attention! Well, this readerā€™s attention has been tugged!

The ā€œCapstoneā€ has been reversed!
The spirit...within!

The Last Chant (+4)
LaurašŸŒ» said:

Kurt,

Iā€™ve been thinking about ā€œThe Last Chantā€...
Whatever is left to capture is the now moment ...
The past has gone...
The future nonexistent...
The now...
One more day, one more look!

For me, dare I say, these five are about this very moment...

~Laura~
