Gershon Wolf Poet Sonnet

Anticipating All the Evening's Fun

It is a darkling night in Union Square
Yet in our hearts 'tis bright as noonday sun
The gloomy mist cannot our high hopes snare
Anticipating all the evening's fun 
We're going to a premiere Broadway play
And meeting all the stars and cast backstage
Then dancing out beneath the Milky Way
To music sweet as wine that's finely aged

We take each other's hands, but something's wrong
Expressions on our faces clammy cold
No matter that the band now plays our song
We're out of cards, and now it's time to fold

We search each other's eyes to find a clue
No mirror in them whispers, 'I love you'

Eve Roper October 20, 2020 at 8:50 PM Very deep , Gershon, imagery is great. I had a feel of the Casinos in your verse, that I miss. Enjoyed the story. Hugs Eve Gershon Wolf October 21, 2020 at 6:06 PM Thanks for your kind remarks about this sonnet, Eve. Sweetness and Light, Gershon
