Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Her Depth of Despair

She returned to savor her childhood dreams
    the flowers by the brook, the trees by the stream

  She found a paved road, a boarded-up cabin
    her depth of despair, no developer imagines

Valsa George March 5, 2023 at 2:43 AM We feel extremely disappointed over the unexpected changes brought to the place where we spent our childhood. We reach there to recollect old memories, but the change blocks our imagination. Beautifully written Gershon Gershon Wolf March 5, 2023 at 7:58 PM They say 'You can't go back.' Maybe they're right...
