Ashes In The Past
FredPeyer said:
I would say yes to the first three stanzas, and the flame will keep on burning!
Love your writing, Kurt, not only for the beautiful presentation, but the deeper meanings. Your poems always make me think and ponder, and isn\'t that what poems are all about; beauty and meaning!

10 Steps
FredPeyer said:
I like this, Kurt. Am trying to figure out where I stand. I know I had omniscience when I was a teenager!
Equanimity was never a strong side, too much of a temper. Through the years acquired at least some perspective and cognition. Was never able to handle prescience, while intuition is something that seems to come and go. Am still waiting for elevation and nirvana!
Kurt, I really like this poem!

The Muse Unrehearsed
Goldfinch60 said:
The Muse unrehearsed is so right, I sit down to write with an idea in my head but by the time I have finished the Muse has changed the meaning on many occasions.
Good write and very true.

The Muse Unrehearsed
Kurt Philip Behm said:
Nope, good questions; as most questions are. When I teach, I always tell students with so-called
\'writer\'s block\' to go LIVE some more. It\'s the raw material we all draw from. There\'s an old school of thought (which I don\'t adhere to), that says \"nothing written before the age of 40 is worth reading.\" I think it was Bertrand Russell who said it—but don\'t hold me to that.
Emily Dickinson, locked in a second floor attic, is pretty much a myth.... She lived her life vicariously through others which would never be my choice. I think, to me; that\'s why her writing has an other-wordly or ephemeral character that often wears thin.

You made me think, Kurt. Do I live to write? I know I am not writing for a living. Do I write about my living? What is more important to me, to live, or to write? Or, are all these questions stupid, irrelevant?

I do love this poem, Kurt. Isn\'t it amazing how a song or any other event, can trigger memories we thought were long gone, and then as you say so eloquently: The past is born again.
