Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Lock of Hair

A lock of hair
  A torn shoe string
A rocking chair
  A wedding ring

A dial phone
  A worn headband
A xylophone
  An old night stand

A broken piece, a little bit
  of what has passed
No longer fits
  ~ Their memories last

Sandra Adams July 28, 2019 at 1:13 PM sometimes we hold onto these things just to help hold the memories closer! Beautifully penned Gershon! Love this poem it speaks volumes in its simplicity :) hugs Gershon Wolf July 28, 2019 at 2:18 PM I truly take 'simplicity' as a great compliment. Often it bespeaks elegance and purity. Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words, Sandra. :) gw

Caren Krutsinger July 28, 2019 at 7:37 AM This was such a sing-song write. I found myself loving every line, Mr. Wolf. Gershon Wolf July 28, 2019 at 12:50 PM I'm glad you liked this sing-song verse, Mrs. Krutsinger. (If I'm Mr. Wolf, then you are Mrs. Krutsinger. LOL.) How about Caren and Gershon? Works for me! :) gw
