Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Cornucopia of Colour

Intricate patterns, exotic flowers
  curl into royal insignias
    cultured eyes can devour
A cornucopia of colours  

Like a peacock's feathers on display
  expanding and contracting
    those myriad Eyes ~
Visual accordions at play

All this and more 
  covers the floor
    of my living room
Please don't step on the rug
  ~ and a peacock deplume

Evelyn Judy Buehler March 23, 2020 at 11:04 PM A vibrantly beautiful poem, Gershon. That sounds like an awesome rug! Best of wishes. Gershon Wolf March 24, 2020 at 10:01 AM You know, you're right! The rug is awesome. And yet, I walk on it like it's nothing. After writing this poem, I am going to be more 'respectful!' (How to do so is another question). Thanks, Evelyn!! :) Gershon

Ronald D Thompson March 23, 2020 at 6:55 PM Wasn't expecting the finale! Exceptional. Ron :) Gershon Wolf March 23, 2020 at 8:24 PM Yeah, you never ever want a deplumed peacock. Ghastly! LOL. Thanks, Ron. Stay well, Gershon

Lindsay Laurie March 23, 2020 at 5:12 PM Hello Gershon … there is so much beauty and colours in our lives, so it's a pity many do not see this world that way - thanks Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf March 23, 2020 at 8:23 PM People gotta purchase those colored lenses! What say you?! Thanks! :) Gershon

Arturo Michael March 23, 2020 at 1:57 PM The colors of love...that what they all have in common...I'll watch my step... Gershon Wolf March 23, 2020 at 8:21 PM Well-put. The common denominator is that they are colors of love. Thanks for the insight, Arturo! Happy Monday evening, Gershon

David Mchattie March 23, 2020 at 12:08 PM Sounds like a colorful spread you have there. I never thought about it before but there is very little color in my house. A lot of earth tones. Lovely imagery my friend. Stay frosty. Gershon Wolf March 23, 2020 at 8:10 PM When I was single, earthy was the only tone in my apartment. Now, my wife is the peacock. Thanks, David. Stay healthy! Happy Monday, Gershon

Michelle Faulkner March 23, 2020 at 11:41 AM Love love love the imagery, especially the peacock feathers 'myraid eyes' - and visual accordions' - gotta add to my faves! Gershon Wolf March 23, 2020 at 8:09 PM So nice of you to FAVE this one, Michelle. Thank you! Cheers, and stay healthy, Gershon
