Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

A Martian's Fantasy

The fantasy of a Martian like me
  is to explore Earth's vast blue seas
to fraternize with dolphins and whales
  to return to Mars with many a tale

of octopus, squid, stingrays and eels
  the intense water pressure one feels
perhaps experience rapture of the deep ~ 
  long as my fifteen heads get their beauty sleep

Jennifer Proxenos March 28, 2022 at 11:15 AM This is clever, your poetry always carries significant messages and I feel both your desperation and hopelessness, but we have to stay sane and laugh a little sometimes, this poem is all about, coping and living and that tomorrow is another day, enjoyed this poem and had a giggle. Hugs and blessings. Jennifer. Gershon Wolf March 30, 2022 at 7:26 AM Glad you giggled, Jennifer! Wolf with a Wiggle

L Milton Hankins March 28, 2022 at 8:43 AM (chuckling) Gosh, I don't think I could cope with a being of fifteen heads, gw. I have enough trouble keeping my one head straight!

Anselmo Boles March 28, 2022 at 1:00 AM Hahaha, you floored me with the last line! So impressed with your unconventional wit, Gershon. Hubba Hubba!...ab Gershon Wolf March 30, 2022 at 7:24 AM 15 heads did the trick for you, I see, Anselmo. Glad I didn't give that Martian 16 heads. lol. Thanks, gw

Judy Ball March 27, 2022 at 8:23 PM This is too cute Gershon. Reminds me of the little Martian and his dog that visited Earth in the Looney Toons I used to watch as a kid. Bugs Bunny used to give him quite the run around. A real fun read. God Bless, JB Gershon Wolf March 27, 2022 at 8:37 PM Let's keep having fun, Judy. Good times straight ahead...
