Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Neither a Borrower Nor

Collaborative Poetry…
give me a break

Words borrowed or lent,
the Muse to abate

What’s not in your memory,
what’s not in your soul

Can never be bartered, rented
—or sold

(Bryn Mawr College: February, 2020)

Daniel Turner February 1, 2020 at 8:40 PM I like the poem but i have to respectfully disagree. i have collaborated a few times and although it does not always turn out well. it is fun. Kurt Philip Behm February 2, 2020 at 12:48 PM Thanks Daniel, I do believe it can be fun, I just don't feel it's effective. Like too many cooks in the kitchen... Thanks for reading! Kurt
