Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

A Heart's Tale

The catch in your breath
  your pulsating chest

You're lightheaded, silly
  tongue babbling, willy-nilly

Eviscerated, all that
  when she crosses your path

Your heart turned to stone
  bare survival alone

Caren Krutsinger June 5, 2021 at 5:32 AM I have seen this so often " You're lightheaded, silly tongue babbling, willy-nilly" - it is hilarious to me. Well penned! Gershon Wolf June 5, 2021 at 8:53 PM Well, willy-nilly, we're so silly. Ain't we got fun?! Smiles, gw

L Milton Hankins June 2, 2021 at 8:57 PM Wow, the turn was a bit shocking, G.W. Nice couplets that tell the whole story in just a few lines. Enjoyed it. Gershon Wolf June 3, 2021 at 6:41 PM Maybe I was thinking of that Hall & Oates hit from the 80's, 'Man-Eater,' about the woman who ate men alive. Grisly. :) gw
