Gershon Wolf Poet Tanka

Blossoms Sprout

letters, words, verses
ink blossoms sprout from her pen
Em'ly Dickinson...
confined for years to her drawers
~ beds of enchanted flowers

Jean Bush February 23, 2020 at 1:59 PM How tender & beautiful, just like her. You always touch the magic. Gershon Wolf February 23, 2020 at 6:18 PM Such kind words you've penned about me. Thank you so much, Jean. :) gw

Caren Krutsinger February 22, 2020 at 10:37 PM This is so like Emily Dickinson's I am wondering if you have channeled Emily Dickinson's mind in your sleep? Gershon Wolf February 23, 2020 at 1:02 PM Always wanted to meet E.D. Would she be dull? Who knows? She'd be shy, almost for sure... :) gw

Quoth Theraven February 20, 2020 at 11:09 AM Gershon, True to form. Glad this poem isn't confined to any drawer. -Richard Quoth Theraven March 17, 2020 at 10:58 PM Really can't think of a better place than that. We should start a poem reading, once a month, for all of our special poets. I would start with some of the poems by Carol Sunshine Brown. -Richard Gershon Wolf February 20, 2020 at 3:09 PM So, kind of you, Richard...though I imagine my poems will wind up at the bottom of my kids' drawers when I'm gone. Smiles, Gershon

Evelyn Judy Buehler February 19, 2020 at 11:15 PM This is very lovely, Gershon! I love the poetry of Emily Dickinson, and I've added this to my faves. Thanks for sharing. :) Gershon Wolf February 20, 2020 at 3:05 PM Thank you so much for the FAVE, Evelyn... Emily D. is my absolute all-time #1 favorite poet ever. (That's enough hyperbole, I guess. But I'm in awe of her poetry). Cheers, Gershon
