Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

An Old Friend Reborn

Orange sherbet-streaked heavens
   at my window this morn
herald an old friend's return
   ~ newly reborn

For while the sun 
   in the sky has been
all this while, to my 
   uninformed eye
slate-gray clouds
   made me cry...

Tears and clouds
   disperse suddenly
Now's returned
      My love 
for this sweet world
      as it turns

Caren Krutsinger February 5, 2020 at 5:19 PM When we see the sun in the morning, it truly does paint the day! Gershon Wolf February 6, 2020 at 2:51 PM The sun sets the stage, the mood, the tone... thanks, Caren! :) gw

Lindsay Laurie February 4, 2020 at 5:43 PM Hello Gershon … when the weather is dreary for some time we become dreary too. I can recall a time when it hadn't rained for three months, and when it finally did, standing in it with a great sense of relief - thanks Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf February 4, 2020 at 6:40 PM Wow! I can imagine the relief after a drought for three months... ~ Gershon

Paula Goldsmith February 4, 2020 at 10:08 AM A beautiful sky with its many colors. Many do not look up and miss it. What a gift it is to us. Enjoy your day........ Gershon Wolf February 4, 2020 at 6:40 PM Yes! Important to remember to look up (and around too). Thanks, Paula. :) Gershon

Chris Green February 3, 2020 at 12:42 PM Seems I am not the only one who witnesses beautiful sunrises from time to time, but you express it so much more beautifully than I ever could. Loved this one my friend. Gershon Wolf February 3, 2020 at 6:58 PM What you wrote about me is precisely how I feel about you and your poems. We must be trapped in a House of Mirrors! Cheers, Chris! :) Gershon

Sandra Adams February 2, 2020 at 6:15 PM This is a lovely writer Gershon. Hopefully that friend sticks around awhile :) hugs Sandra Adams February 2, 2020 at 6:59 PM sun tomorrow, then the next 7 days are rain, ice, rain, clouds, snow, clouds, rain...i will enjoy whatever trails of it i get to see and feel.... Gershon Wolf February 2, 2020 at 6:52 PM Chicago gets to see our old friend tomorrow morning and then it's back to cloud cover, I'm told. Here's to better luck for PA. Cheers, Gershon
