A Metaphor Of Poetics (#1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Living vicarious…

 the most important attribute

 of an effective Poet

 

Never consumed by your

 subject

   —consuming it in verse

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)

           ‘Dedicated To Emily’

 

 

Present Betrothal

 

Live divorced from the past,

 engaged to the future

  —but married to the present

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2019)

    nicely penned friend.. I hope Emily has seen this...

      I can only wish. She left us in 1886.

      Thanks

              I'm having trouble coming up with new ways
              to say thank you, but THANK YOU again.

              Kurt

                    I just listened to 'Blind Lead The Blind' and was blown away.

                    Such talent!

                    Kurt
