One Phrase (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

Call me a Poet,

but I’m just a writer

these words that I breathe

respoken much later

Call me a Poet,

my couplets in rhyme

each stanza to shorten

with meaning sublime

Call me a Poet,

my retinue sounder

to live by the moment

my squares getting rounder

Call me a Poet,

I’ll call you the same

if one phrase you’ll tender

—attached to your name

 

(The New Room: March, 2022)

 

 

Moon Shot

 

Transcending the light of reason,

can words do more than wait

 

(Dreamsleep: March, 2022)

    Kurt,

    I spy a challenge in your first-rate poem; here’s my feeble attempt to your challenge…

    A poet I am not,
    a dreamer I am
    today’s regrets are
    tomorrow’s satisfactions

    Thank you for sharing, my dear Poet.

    I like the last 2 lines.

    🙂

    • Laura🌻

      Thank you.

      After much deliberation, I’ve finally realized what I once thought of as regrets are really satisfactions.

      Kurt,

      Your ‘Dreamsleep’ is most intriguing.

      ‘can words do more than wait’

      Hmmm 🤔…
      an interesting query.

      ...only a Buddhist would know.

      🙂
