Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

A Thought Drifts By

    A thought drifts by
       on the breath of the sky
    Not knowing if ‘tis a treasure
    nor having time to measure
       I add it to my supply  

    where it sits in with other thought fellows
       if poetic, it might be a Longfellow
    if musical, perchance a note for a cello
       if dessert, a bowl of strawberry jello

    But I digress, for by plucking that thought
       a world of patience is taught

Joseph P. DiMino September 9, 2024 at 10:55 AM Yep, I've got several projects started, thoughts plucked, to be revisited and perhaps completed another day. Or tossed in the can. Who knows? Well worked. Enjoyed the read very much.
