Pit Vipers (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

To not appease the critics,

success within our grasp

The charlatans of written words,

venom of the asp

 

They bury deep inside their dens,

ordained iconoclasts

 

Passing judgment, casting blame

—on what they fear might last

 

(To T.R.’s ‘Man In The Arena’ March, 2021)

 

 

 

'Higher Love'

 

Transcending jazz,

 folk and rock,

 blues master’s stop and bow

 

Winwood standing

far above,

we ask not why—but how

 

(Watching The Master On AXS: March, 2021)

 

 

X-Tiempo

Did you make the moment,

did the moment make you

 

Did you give truth a name

—time forever renewed

 

(Dreamsleep: March 2021)

    Nice one, Kurt. I do get a subtle hint that there may be the occasional critic you are not very fond of...

  • Kurt Philip Behm

    Subtle? 🙂
