Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

A Day In the Life -- Poet's Progress

Getting started is harder some days than others
   Tempting ideas take shape -- vanish without a trace
A couple of lines appear, then run out of rhyme
   Going nowhere fast is a misnomer; it's agonizingly slow
        And the poetry's just awful

Push to finish it anyway...Push hard...Push to finish it...Ah, done!
   The next one'll probably be easier; this one was certainly no fun

Caren Krutsinger May 10, 2019 at 4:06 AM I pulled out the same line as P.S. "going nowhere fast is a misnomer." That line seemed fun. Gershon Wolf May 10, 2019 at 9:18 AM See my reply to P.S. (scroll down)

P.S. Awtry May 9, 2019 at 11:36 AM Yep, that's how it works! Please add this line to your quotes (I love it) "Going nowhere fast is a misnomer; it's agonizingly slow" Gershon Wolf May 10, 2019 at 9:18 AM See my reply to Caren. (Scroll up).
