  29. Kurt… I’m a philly guy, born and raised. I write and run in Bucks County now, but still have kids in the city and I’m there often, in fact will be down tomorrow. Glad you stopped by my blog, because now I found you and your poetry. I’m trying to dial up my poetry IQ, hoping it will help my prose. Keep going, I like your stuff… jim

    Do you have any suggestions of your poems you think might be accessible to high school students?

    • I would say Human, She Dreams of Smiles, He Waits and The Bell Tolls For Thee…. If you want, tell me what you would like and I could send them as a pdf to you through email.

  49. Your poetry makes me want to dig out my own: past written. Makes me want to writer more: thought but unwritten. And more, unthought, unwritten.

    Thank you for following my blog. May the inspiration be mutual.

    What sort of novels are you currently working on. Had a quick look on Amazon for your books but there not really any information.

    Thanks, and have a great day!

    • I had one “Motion” that was on a seven year publishing contract that just ran out.  I plan on putting that one back out once it is edited correctly.  I have another novel finished and that needs edited as well.  Both are thrillers.  I did self publish “Fly on the Wall” and took off the market so I could get all the poetry edited and also add another hundred poems to it.  If someone is going to drop $15 on a poetry book I think they should get their money’s worth.  That one should end up being around 400 pages.

  139. Hi there fellow Buckeye –

    i nominated you for the Very Inspring Blogger award. I wrote about it – Warm and Fuzzy, but I cannot for the life of me figure out the ping thing – so this is what you do – follow the instructions on the Warm and Fuzzy blog, then copy the link of the image and attach to your site via widget.

    Technology is not my friend, but that is okay:)

  141. Kurt, you honour me with your follow. Thanks for this and your kind visit. My blog is intended to raise awareness of the persecution of divorcing / divorced fathers and children by our matriarchal society. Having said this, there will be poetry from time to time. I’m a bit busy at present, but look forward to exploring your blog in the near future. Cheers, S.

  155. Kurt,
    Your poetry is inspiring. It’s like you dig into the roots of humanity and pull out the heart for everyone to see–there’s sincerity, truth, and a story. Thank you for sharing your writing and thank you for following my blog. I look forward to reading.

    • It is my pleasure following your blog… I want to thank you for your kind words. It is very hard posting some of these because they are so personal, but someone may relate to some of them and that’s what writing is all about.. right?

  158. Thanks for visiting my blog today and for following me. Trying to get to grips with formal poetry just now as this is the next part of the course I am studying. Really enjoying it. I will come back and read more of your poetry – I like its apparent simplicity.

  160. Greetings! I write to nominate you for a Versatile Blogger Award. To be honest, you don’t win a prize or medal or any such thing. Rather, this is a simple commendation from one blogger to others regarding the value of your work, and it has the potential of expanding your audience (and also, I surmise, that of others, to include the founders of VBA). To accept, use this link.
    http://versatilebloggeraward.wordpress.com/
    Once there, check the VBA rules to decide whether you want to accept.

  189. Thank you for the follow. I am returning the favor. These lines really struck a chord with me from “The Truth Unfolds” (great title btw):

    Sometimes the truth unfolds
    from a piece of paper
    that has been in a pocket
    for a while,
    and no matter how good
    the work is
    it still ends up in
    the trashcan.

    So sad. so true. achingly lovely.

    • You are welcome and thanks for stopping by! Nightmare always shocks me at how well it is accepted. I think it took 5 minutes to write and it was something that I thought was “ok”. I’m happy you like it! The writing is up and down like all writers I guess! lol
