Kurt Philip Behm Poet Rhyme

Staking Its Claim

A fetching title
can save a poem
Like a fiery maestro
can free a song

Its marching orders
endorse each line
And beat a cadence
that words define

To set the page
and clear the way
It stakes a claim
to all you say

While some may tout
“It’s Just A Name”
The Sage reminds us
— its crown reclaims
