Gershon Wolf Poet Narrative

Armed With Wings of Cypress Wine

~ A Monorhymed Fantasy ~

A virgin maid of twenty-nine
  angelic face, most benign
Sought the life of the front lines
  her upbringing undermined...

Two devilish, slack-jawed canines
  leaped at the cowering feline
Antagonistic, their bloodlines
  simmering in rancid brine...

Camouflaged prone, not supine
  a-slither and a-serpentine
Amidst the poison ivy vine
  fangs redolent of red strychnine...

Her pipedreams of bootleg moonshine
  no street-grade heroin to mainline
Cannabis the new gold to find
  cheaper than a sapphire mine  

Armed with wings of cypress wine
  embarked for distant shorelines
As she touched the finish line ~
  vanished was the Temple Shrine

Timothy Mcguire July 13, 2020 at 2:32 PM I like the rhyme and rhythm and the hidden story, well done. Gershon Wolf July 13, 2020 at 10:05 PM Always glad to hear good news like what you've penned. Thank you so much, Timothy! Light and Joy, Gershon

Jennifer Proxenos July 13, 2020 at 10:39 AM A clever poet you are Sir Gershon - Sir Lancelot awaits you! What I do like about your clever humor is that it comes so naturally! Well penned. Blessings, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf July 13, 2020 at 10:12 PM You know, Jennifer, I've been this way -- (a little humor wakes up the day) -- I can't remember when I wasn't like this, but I know that I wasn't as a teen. I was Mr. Serious. Can't imagine it now. Thank you so much for your kind words. Joy and Light, Gershon

Jenish Somadas July 13, 2020 at 12:50 AM wonderful monorhyme.. Your thoughts of fantasies flying high.. Great write Gershon.. Gershon Wolf July 13, 2020 at 10:11 PM And I'm stone cold sober (for the last 50 years). Just imagine if I were 'flying high.' I'd be a real holy terror, I'm sure --- if I didn't fall asleep for half a day first. lol. Thanks, Jenish!
