Destiny Astride (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

I rode a painful trail,

because not doing so curtailed

 

Biting hard on Areion’s bit,

all else in life assailed

 

With blinders on I forged ahead,

whose route my will complied

 

Its ledges steep, all fear below

—my destiny astride

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

 

 

Legacy Of Fear

 

Would you rather die

than be embarrassed

 

Rather destitute

than shamed

 

Would you rather set your heart on fire,

than barter out your name

 

Does your reputation matter,

will your legacy endear

 

Does what others think,

release the pain

 

That haunts

—and drives your fear

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

 

 

 

First Things First

 

The gateway to good writing

—always tell your story first

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2019)

    Love that first one, especially the Greek mythology reference.

    Kurt,

    A great couplet...
    ‘With blinders on I forged ahead,
    whose route my will complied’

    and

    ‘Legacy Of Fear’...
    Great questions to ask oneself.

    ~Laura~
