Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Greeting a Revolution

  
	Farewell to any and all privacy
             Greetings to hordes of old friends
                 knocking at my door
               
         Overnight, a revolution of expectations
              Most bound to go unrealized

          Never knowing whether to sigh or outright cry
              For I’ve just won the Lottery

Regina Elliott February 24, 2026 at 11:48 AM Hi Gershon, I’ve heard this actually happens to some lottery winners, people come out of the woodwork. There’s a documentary show, don’t remember which channel, titled,”Curse of the Lottery.” Some of the bad luck stories of some of the lottery winners were very sad. We quit buying multi-millions lottery tickets. Good poem writing. Lehit raot :)

Joe Maverick February 24, 2026 at 10:03 AM Yes but that is nothing.? How much did You win again GW.??? Any-how next to A comment from me.' Who knows well Maybe not.? I mean your generousness Remains to be seen.? Now I've sort of drifted back to numerical grounds.' Lol ! )))
