Gershon Wolf Poet Imagism

Covered with Sweat

    a crucial detail
    the key to the case
    slipped the attorney’s mind
    how could this happen
    to him now
 
    all by himself 
    on the precipice
    of triumph

Hilda Greenhough June 10, 2024 at 6:41 PM This is a poignant poem. I find stories about lawyers interesting. I've got the joke book here at home. Gershon Wolf June 10, 2024 at 7:29 PM No kidding. That joke book on lawyers must weigh a ton! lol. ~ A. Torney
