The Foundling

Kurt Philip Behm

When verses

run dry

do you hide

in despair

When the Muse

is on fire

only ashes

you’ll bear

With silence

embedded

on each

empty page

Your fear

is the foundling

that kindles

— the rage

 

(Ronald McDonald House: May, 2025)

    It is true that good poetry is emotive and that foundling that kindles that fire of words is what is to be feared. Well said.

  • Tristan Robert Lange

    Well done, Kurt. Another powerful and thought-provoking write. 🌹👏
