Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Endless, Lazy Summer's Day

Ducks line up behind Mommy
  swimming all in a perfect row

Kids build sand castles
  precariously balanced, just so

Red-and-white bobbers bob up and down
  to the rhythm of fishermen's strings
   
Bronzed bodies gaze upwards, supine
  sun-worshiping, midst other things...

Another endless, lazy summer's day
  for a privileged nation, whose idle play

While in distant lands, far away
  ghastly towers of war and famine sway...

Caren Krutsinger January 22, 2019 at 12:44 PM Your imagery makes me smile, and the appeal of a summer day delights me in my foot and a half of snow. Gershon Wolf January 22, 2019 at 1:16 PM Well,...at least one of your feet is only half-buried in snow! LOL. ~ Gershon
