A Shout Triumphant

A shout triumphant exudes pure joy
  O'er hill and dale, a bugle call

The fox and hound prick up their ears
  Each cries out ~ distinct, their tears

Thanks for providing another perspective, Michelle! Faith and Strength, Gershon

Bill Baker Date: 3/24/2022 8:08:00 AM Excellent pen work on this one, Gershon. Showing through imagery is so much better than just telling. Smiles ~ Blessings my friend, Bill Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 3/24/2022 5:24:00 PM Love your comment, Teacher! You are so right: Writers should 'show' the reader, not 'tell' him. Gotta live up to that more often! Thanks, gw

Susan Ashley Date: 3/23/2022 11:38:00 AM Your triumphant pen strikes again, Gershon. A fantastic poem with so much left to read between the lines. I'd like to think both the hound and the hunter were outfoxed by the foxy one with tears of joy! Warmest wishes, my dear friend.. ~Susan Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 3/23/2022 8:26:00 PM Any subtlety that I have managed is due to reading fine poets like yourself, Susan. Really appreciate the privilege of reading your verse, as well as your generous words of encouragement. Light, Warmth and Joy, Gershon
