Defcon Zero

Kurt Philip Behm

Nuclear Poetry,

a single bomb drops

 

To wipe out the hate,

to reset the clock

 

A megaton scream,

its verse burns alive

 

The plague of excuses,

—deception and lies

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)

    A megaton of power disperses with your poetry. A powerful force unleashed all about with subtle precision to render the reader free of pretense.

    My friend your knack for economic in your words is remarkable. There's no room for wastes in your verses. Truly a work of art.

    • Kurt Philip Behm

      Your kind words mean so much. I always strive for brevity with a great respect for each word used.
      Thanks again,

      Kurt

        I also work hard of brevity, precision, and to convey an image. Thank you for your poetry.

        Thanks, A!

        I just read this in a book about poetry that I believe describes your poems, "good (and even great) poems come in small packages."

          Thanks for the nice thought. They actually take more time than the longer ones.

          Kurt
