Losers dwell
in misery’s past
Winners reach
for tomorrow recast
Cowardice hides
from every new dawn
Where freedom awaits
— the brave and the strong
(Dreamsleep: November, 2025)
Fathers Of God
Deciding for another
— the greatest responsibility of all
(The New Room: November, 2025)

Another marvelous write Kurt full of wisdom and understanding
Thanks, another kindness from you.
You are most welcome Kurt I do not look at it as a kindness but admiration of a fine poem and poet
That closing line…“the brave and the strong”…lands with quiet power. It’s less boastful than resolute, like a light held steady in the dark. Well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks. It's always about the first and last tine. I used to tell students who were struggling
with their poetry to delete everything except the first and last stanzas and then see how they felt
about their poem. It ALMOST always had the desired effect.
