Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Cloud Plopped Down on my Knee

       A cloud from the sky
         plopped down on my knee
       Said, ‘Do you realize
         all my rain is for free’

       Not only that 
         for the cloud was not done
       asking, ‘Are you aware 
         I shield folks from the sun’  

      Taken aback, I kept my mouth shut ~
         relaxing under a shady chestnut

Rowena Velasco July 28, 2025 at 5:22 AM Such a whimsical little cloud with a big personality! Gershon’s got that playful touch again—love how it turns into a cozy moment under the tree. Gershon Wolf July 28, 2025 at 3:48 PM Appreciate the appreciation so much, Rowena. Keep 'those cards and letters coming.' lol. Whimsically, Gershon

Joseph P. DiMino July 26, 2025 at 7:18 PM The cloud is all wet! Full of himself, my opinion. Gershon Wolf July 28, 2025 at 3:53 PM Ha, ha, ha. The poet is all wet too, and full of it, to boot. ~ Getting out the shovel...

Kim Rodrigues July 26, 2025 at 3:49 PM An honest cloud, honestly is shrouded from the fact that a tree already gives shade. Good to be grateful for both! Gershon Wolf July 28, 2025 at 3:56 PM I know some trees that don't even provide shade. ~ Les Leaves

sara Etgen-Baker July 25, 2025 at 4:53 PM simply creative. You amaze me with your ability to rhyme and communicate a story at the same time. Nicely done, sir.

Beryl Edmonds July 25, 2025 at 4:14 PM If I were you I’d have asked for a ride, so that I could see the world from both sides. Sunny side up, or rain falling down, for that I’d have paid the cloud half a crown, two and six in old money that is… Beryl
