Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

A New Semester

Student approaches a new semester's launching pad
       Cautiously maneuvers rockets into firing position
  
    -- Warning Signal Flashes -- Warning Signal Flashes --    
          Hazard Alert!    Hazard Alert!    Hazard Alert! 
     
                    MASSIVE COGNITIVE FAILURE!
                    MASSIVE COGNITIVE FAILURE!
                    MASSIVE COGNITIVE FAILURE!
 
           Cause: Systemic Breakdown of Academic Rigor

                               Abort Mission!

Deborah Guenther Beachboard March 24, 2018 at 3:34 PM This poem is brilliant! It reminds me of every flashing warning in every sci fi movie I have ever seen, plus the poets voice is robotic-- the embodiment of cold computer voices that issue warnings to us mere mortals. Gershon Wolf March 24, 2018 at 10:15 PM Gosh, thanks! High praise indeed. And great encouragement for yours truly. Thank you, Deborah, for providing a venue for growth for us P.S. poets. Kudos. Best wishes, Gershon :)
