Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Frozen Dreams

Frozen Dreams

Poverty
with a view
Wilderness
in the stew
Icebergs set
aflow
Desolation
row

Every day
a choice
Searching for
that voice
The one
to set me free
And melt
— this frozen dream

*****

This Day Forward

Giving up
on tomorrow
Rechristening
today
The blessings
before me
As presence
they lay

Regret is for
losers
Of which
I’ve been one
But from
this day forward
Today
zero – sum

*****

Door #3

We don’t write
to uncover
what’s right or what’s wrong

We write
to discover
— ourselves

*****

Bottom Line

Writer’s write
 as dilettante’s talk
Writer’s write
and poseurs they squawk
Writer’s write
with dandies in tow
Writer’s write
— so others may know

(Dreamsleep: June, 2026)
