Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Dreams For Sale

A sordid smile
    a crooked frown
  invisible bile
    a tattered gown
  
  Different color elbows
    cavernous armpits
  Unflavored saliva and spit

  A blistering waistline
    curious shoulders
  A cratered mind
    rocks and boulders

  Checklist never-ending
    no suitors pending
  Resolve never-bending
    all offers final ~ depending

Michelle Faulkner September 8, 2022 at 10:32 PM Very introspective, gw, especially 'cratered mind, rocks and boulders' - so much debris from dreams crash landing~ Gershon Wolf September 10, 2022 at 7:50 PM I was gazing into my navel, perchance...

Michael Tor September 8, 2022 at 10:21 PM I can see why Gershon. Fortune smiles on some and lets the rest go free. Off the Eagles album Long run and the song Sad cafe. Beautiful song about why some musicians become famous and others don't... Going to listen to now that you reminded me Gershon. Have a good night my friend... Gershon Wolf September 10, 2022 at 7:51 PM Go where eagles dare, Michael...
