Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Hearts Carved On a Tree

The sun is out
  The sky is blue
Hearts carved on a tree
  Spell Me and You

We stroll by the water
  Forget our cares
Summer's here now
  To enjoy the fresh air

Smell the red peonies
  Gorgeous pods on a stem
Pick a few, don't deny
  The table its diadem

Scoop up some stones
  Choose one smooth and flat
Skip it across the lake
  and marvel at that...

As the sun works its way
  Into the last gentle wave
The day's etched in memories
  ~ For Eternity to save

Quoth Theraven June 8, 2020 at 10:35 AM Gershon, This is a wonderful excursion indeed. Your poems paint a scene as well any Norman Rockwell dreamed. -Richard Quoth Theraven August 2, 2020 at 9:01 AM This is where it was placed, a comment for your poem. You discovered the poem in a comment. You should post it. -Richard Gershon Wolf June 8, 2020 at 11:03 AM Richard, I think that you should post/publish this comment as a poem! E.g., "Special poems paint a scene as well as any Norman Rockwell dream." That's a 17-syllable monoku, by the way. Take it; it's yours, by rights!! Thank you so much! :) Gershon
