Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

A Slice of Derring-Do

Tonight feels just right
  though the moon is uptight
Still the stars do shine bright
  There's plenty of light

And perhaps way out there
  roams a big grizzly bear
a wily fox on the prowl
  or a macabre screech-owl...

No, I tell myself, do not be afraid
  only cowards mistakes haven't made
I crumple up my paper, put down my pen
  sneak under the covers ~ fast asleep before ten!

Ilene Bauer January 14, 2021 at 1:08 PM ha! i can sure relate to this one, gershon! Gershon Wolf January 14, 2021 at 5:19 PM That's makes two people who can relate to this one, ilene: You and I... Of course, I wrote it, so you'd think that I can relate to it... ~ Slightly Daffy on Thursdays

Kim Rodrigues January 14, 2021 at 1:02 PM LOL...run for cover! Though it is no laughing matter! Gershon Wolf January 14, 2021 at 5:18 PM You, my friend, came up with the perfect title for this little ditty, i.e, 'Run for cover.' Should have thought of it. Are you available for title consultations?! What are your hours? What's your fee? Any '2 for 1' sales available... Thanks, Kim! :) gw

Quoth Theraven January 14, 2021 at 10:41 AM Gershon, Geoffrey has a good point. Fear can find you just as easily under the covers. -Richard Gershon Wolf January 14, 2021 at 5:13 PM Fear can find me?! Ha, ha. I'm in big trouble then. I've gotten a little bigger during the pandemic. Now I'm the like the 800 lb. gorilla in the room, I'm 'afraid.' ~ Out of here, gw

Geoffrey Brewer January 14, 2021 at 1:14 AM Sounds like your derring went! But don’t forget the monster under the bed. Nice one, Gershon. Gershon Wolf January 14, 2021 at 5:12 PM Yes, indeed. I'd say that I have 'derring-don't.' lol. Thank you for the tip about the monster, Geoffrey. ~ Gershon
