Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Craving Ever More Gold - Contest

Rapacious greed
  avarice's creed
voracious appetite
  devours every bite

Never enough silver
  craves ever more gold
his insatiable lust
  never grows old

Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini
  Porsche, five Ferraris
Cadillacs and BMW's
  beneath him ~ sorry

Charges usurious rent
  hoards every last cent
on his family tree
  a branch diseased and bent

Paula Goldsmith June 21, 2021 at 10:51 AM Congratulations on your win. Money is just a thing. A thing that people make into good or bad. You made it into a good write. Enjoy your win with blessings............... Gershon Wolf June 21, 2021 at 6:12 PM Thank you so much, Paula, for noticing my H.M. way down there at the bottom of the list. Much appreciated. I like your take on money and on this write. Best always, Gershon

Line Gauthier June 19, 2021 at 4:46 AM Great imagery ~ how much does one need? At some point, it might be good to notice that some people have nothing to eat... Gershon Wolf June 19, 2021 at 8:37 PM And some of those poor people are actually overweight. Good reason for Scrooges to cut back on their charitable contributions. Sigh. Isn't that how their reasoning works?... Great point, Line. Thank you, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger June 11, 2021 at 12:40 PM Good luck in the contest; this is a splendid contender! Gershon Wolf June 19, 2021 at 8:36 PM Thank you much, C.K!

Terry Flood June 10, 2021 at 2:29 PM I can never figure these multi-millionaires still scrabbling for ever more quids and dollars like some demented fox killing more chickens then he can ever eat. Your last line pretty well says all that is needed. Best of luck in the contest, Gershon. Terry Gershon Wolf June 10, 2021 at 6:50 PM I must have visualized Ebeneezer Scrooge subconsciously.

Lindsay Laurie June 9, 2021 at 9:09 PM Hello Gershon … being rich or famous doesn’t mean happiness, but it can lead to mistrust and being egotistic - thanks again Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf June 10, 2021 at 5:35 PM As they say: I've been poor, and I've been rich. -- I'll take rich. lol. Thanks, Lindsay. :) gw

Evelyn Judy Buehler June 9, 2021 at 8:26 PM Your eloquence does a great job with.the contest's subject of money. This poem is very interesting and enjoyable. Good luck in the contest. :D Evelyn Gershon Wolf June 9, 2021 at 9:09 PM Thank you for your nice review, Evelyn. Here's wishing you Happiness and Joy Unbounded, Gershon

L Milton Hankins June 9, 2021 at 7:02 PM Wow, you got it down, Gershon. I'm still looking at this contest and wondering what I could possibly do with it. Great write! Gershon Wolf June 9, 2021 at 9:09 PM You know, money is just a neutral thing. I turned it into an instrument of greed, but that's just one of so many aspects of it. I'm sure you can find a star in the pantheon to hang your hat on there, my friend. Strength and Kindness, Gershon
