Poetry…
barbell of the written word
Resistance exercise
—for the status-quo
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
The Wolf Unleashed
I don’t have to slay the dark,
my verse—the wolf unleashed
I don’t have to court the devil,
my words a sword unsheathed
I can live beneath the sun,
or in hurricanes of fright
To sleep beneath a crescent moon
—my poetry to fight
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
Epiphanous Light
Poetry travels
where Prose cannot go
To sleep with the stars,
by heaven aglow
Each new verse a planet,
orbiting round
An Epiphanous light
—burning profound
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
Fraternal Melee
Christians killing Christians,
politics trumping God
The Axis dared, the Allies fared
—shared lineage facade
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

Kurt,
Your metaphorically rich writes are a delight to read!
I especially favor
“Epiphanous Light”!
‘To sleep with the stars,
by heaven aglow’...
What a vision!!
