To Laugh Or Cry (+2)

Kurt Philip Behm

Thick skin

Thin skin

Are they worn the same?

 

Praise yes

Blame less

Does any truth remain?

 

Thick skin

Thin skin

To open or to hide?

 

Reasons for

Excuses against

To laugh—or then to cry

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016) 

 

 

Literary Nuptial

 

Poetry…

the marriage of raw emotion

 —and unbridled thought

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2016)

 

 

 

Then & Now

 

Once, I didn’t know

 —but thought that I did

 

Now, I know

 —but wish that I didn’t

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2018)

    Kurt,

    Great questions to ponder upon!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ā€œLiterary Nuptialā€
    is extraordinary!

    I donā€™t foresee a divorce
    anytime soon!

    Iā€™m framing this one!

    Kurt
