Kurt Philip Behm

False Witness (+2)

If I described

a rose’s bloom

or the beauty

of the rising sun

Then I’d be writing

another’s verse

conscripted words

respun 

If I then waxed

of love on high

and hearts that

break anew

Then falsely would

I pen the lines

a plagiarist

— in view

Meeting The Moment

 

Never shoot a

large caliber man

with a small caliber

bullet

 

Never write a

high impact verse

with a low impact

couplet

 

Never scribe a

Tolstoyan novel

when an essay

will do

 

Never bless the

gifted moment

with a feeling

— penned untrue

 

(The New Room:  January, 2026)

 

 

 

Memories Of J.D.

 

Release your mind

from the bonds of expedience

And harvest in the crops

of your insanity

 

(Anthology Of Perception #1:  July, 1969)
