I am not
me
We are not
us
They are not
them
And here is not
there
(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)
Calling Me Back
They wait till I sleep
and hide within
recalling old memories
and past chagrins
Those tracks untrodden
to walk again
each choice unchosen
—my dreams befriend
(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)

Kurt,
Wow…
My first read of the day and your ‘Dreamsleep’ has once again presented a profound thought provoking poem.
Laura🌻
Mission accomplished, thanks
Hey! What an interesting and profound poem! I think I'm realizing that each poem on this account isn't coming from the same person. Do you have like a school of poetry or something? 😅🧐🤷♂️
No, it\'s all me. I try to keep the words accurate with the
thoughts and feelings and just go where that takes me.
My training was in Philosophy & Theology.
I have 4 published (large) volumes of poetry with over 2000
pages of writings.
It's interesting you mention Gwendolyn Brooks in
your profile. I had lunch with her in Lock Haven Pennsylvania
in1969.
Thanks
Ohhhhh! Nevermind my nonsense. For whatever reason I thought that the paranthetical credits on the bottom of your poetry were people! So that's why I thought it was coming from different poets since not every one of your poems contain the same footnote. But I realized it's your anthologies! Pardon me. But on the topic of Brooks, YOU MET HER!??!?!?!!?? Wow you are one very blessed man. She is actually one of my all-time muses and I can literally go on and on about her. Her works have become seminal for the future of poetry and I can personally say that she's definitely influenced me and my works. If you don't mind, can you explain a little about your encounter with her. Like how was her face-to-face presence and what did you talk about? (Sorry I'm like low-key fanboying right now, I've just never met someone who's had the privilege to meet the first african-american pulitzer prize recipient!) ✨😁

Kurt,
Just saw and read your +1.
Just wondering 🧐…
Are your muses calling you as they have in the past…fulfilling you with more inspiration?
Thank you for sharing, my dear Poet.
