Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Hearty Broth

A hearty bowl of chicken soup
  was set before the lad
at a delicate, tender age
  by his doting mom and dad

Into the thick broth
  the lad plunged his spoon
Hot steam rose up
  raced through the room

The lad inhaled
  his face turned bright
The soup was warmer
  than the light

Which filled the room
  as the lad he ate
the hearty broth
  that love creates

Mike Gentile March 5, 2021 at 8:58 AM A lovely tribute to love and chicken soup this is! I am envious of how you are brimming with new ideas! Well done GW, Happy Friday! Gershon Wolf March 5, 2021 at 9:20 AM Mike, end the envy! (lol). The ideas that I am 'brimming with' all come to me courtesy of the fedora 'with a brim' that I wear. The ideas leap off of the brim, and by osmosis, a few manage to bore their way through my thick skull. See, you're just a fedora away from a brimful of ideas. lol. Thanks, Gershon
