A Write To The End (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

A Big Wave Poem,

—it breaks off the page

 

And swells in your memory,

now hollow with rage

 

Its blank pages churning,

new sounds fill the air

 

Deep ink you are coursing,

as breathless you dare

 

Its words a tsunami,

they tumble and maul

 

Crushing all but the fearless,

watching consonants fall

 

Tightly closed up inside,

you compress for the light

 

And hope at the end,

you are saved in the fight

 

When giant verse calls,

hope and fear you befriend

 

Your line now committed,

—a write to the end

Light Or Chains

 

Truth shows no favorites,

all lies judged the same

 

Freedom or prison,

—its light or its chains

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2017)

 

 

 

The Feast

 

Thoughts carried to term,

new words to instill

 

A message is born,

an infant of will

 

Its father coarse logic,

its mother the wind

 

Together they coupled,

a marriage within

 

Their family heraldic,

with pedigree firm

 

As libraries tremble,

and sages relearn

 

All time on the table,

last lie from the beast

 

This moment a knife,

past—future the feast

        This is truly a work of art. You deserve the highest praise for producing something so amazing.There is nothing you could really find that is off in this poem. You use punctuation perfectly. You show us not tell us about the subject matter that you are writing about, and lastly you use grammatical devices perfectly to convey your points. In all my life I wish that I could produce only one work that is equivalent to this, and I would think that this life was well lived. As with everyone else I invite you to review and grade my poems as well. I would greatly appreciate it. If I were to grade this poem it would get my highest rating 10/10
