By Any Other Name

Kurt Philip Behm

Sometimes trying hard to win,

it’s more important not to lose

 

Semantics jumbled, meanings gray,

the angle of your view

 

The victor truant, a rose a rose,

when called by something else

 

The winner left still undeclared

—the loser on the shelf

    Dear Kurt,

    An interesting poem…
    based on the Wendy character on Ozark? Do you recommend watching the series ‘Ozark’?

      Yes, I binge watched it last week. It’s different than most everything else.

        Thank you, Kurt. 😊
