The Letter K: Kaline, Kiner, Killebrew Knock! Knock!— Who's there? Kris Kringle bringing gifts to kids through the front door instead of down the chimney— how kind of you to come. King Kong karate chops Hong Kong with knockout punch like Krakatoa— Superman weakened by kryptonite is too late for help. Where's Godzilla? Keter is the crown of Kabbalah— top Sephirot of superconsciousness, beyond the intellect, emanating all knowledge that is manifested below. Two K's in their names— Ken Kesey, Kublai Khan and Killer Kowalski— drinking keg of kiwi & kumquat juice by Oregon's kindred Klamath Falls. Artists Klee, Kandinsky, Kokoschka, Musicians Kern, Kreisler, von Karajin, Poets von Kleist, Keats, Stanley Kunitz, Philosophers Kant and Kierkegaard have joined scientists Kepler, Kekulé, Krebs, Kornberg, & Polykarp Kusch to crack the koans & "Katz!" shouts of Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn. Baseball ace Sandy Koufax strikes out sluggers Al Kaline, Kiner, Killebrew, as Jean-Claude Killy skis downhill to three Olympic Gold Medals. Keratin and ketones for chemists, kites & kittens for kindergarten kids, keep your kundalini chakras awake, kned the kinks in your karma— Knight Templars missed Holy Grail, Maxine Kumine made a prairie with a single bee and Emily's reverie— key to kingdom is a goodnight's kiss.       — Peter Y.
