Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

No Enmity

Turning down every invitation…
the invitations stopped

Ensuring the freedom I always craved,
alone inside my thoughts

Misunderstood and misrepresented,
my feelings misconstrued

And needing to live within myself
—no enmity toward you

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2020)

Caren Krutsinger April 24, 2020 at 10:45 PM Interestingly enough this sheltering in place seems comfortable for poets. Kurt Philip Behm April 25, 2020 at 9:03 AM I agree. My life hasn't changed that much. Thanks Caren.
