The Stolen Horse Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The Stolen Horse



Why try to write like somebody else,
by others passion driven

A watered down copy, trespassing free,
to alien words you're smitten

A copycat artist who mimics the sounds,
your voice a toast unbidden

While somebody's pain and somebody's joy
—the stolen horse you've ridden

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: April,2020)
