Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Her Heart Flutters

     Stripped of friends and family
        she lives in squalor’s misery

     The tiny tenement room
        bespeaks her gloom and doom

     Yet when Friday evening arrives
        her heart flutters, comes alive

      Ignited by kindling Sabbath lights
        her face aglow throughout the night

sara Etgen-Baker July 30, 2025 at 4:32 PM a poem worthy of POTD! The flow and rhyme scheme were perfect...the ending was the best. Well done, Gershon! Sara Gershon Wolf July 30, 2025 at 8:28 PM Thank you for your kind words, Sara.
