Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

If I Could Just Recall

Annoyed at the blank screen
  minutes dribble down my chin

If I could just recall
  how a planet forms --
heavy rains beat me
  to the door

No, no, no. 
  She's not home
  
Hours later
  where have you been
a rooster crows
  lusting away

Caren Krutsinger July 23, 2020 at 5:46 PM I love picturing you staring for hours and hours, annoyed by people and roosters. Gershon Wolf July 24, 2020 at 5:49 PM Actually underwear that's too tight beats roosters for irritation. ~ Chafing away

Sam Kauffman July 22, 2020 at 5:28 PM Reminds of the phrase - the roster crows at midnight! "Minutes dribble down my chin," "a roster crows lusting away!" The flow and imagery are so vivid with many double entendres, Gerson. Enjoyed this very much Gershon Wolf July 22, 2020 at 5:56 PM Sam, thank you for all the nice things you said about this write. Appreciated, Gershon

Kim Rodrigues July 22, 2020 at 2:08 PM Your title sounds like a romantic song... Gershon Wolf July 22, 2020 at 5:19 PM Aw, that's as nice a compliment as I could ever hope for. Thanks a million, Kim! Appreciated! :) gw

Tom Cunningham July 22, 2020 at 1:25 PM You need a time cloth for that chin. Rejoice the soup is back, no more blank screen. Tom Gershon Wolf July 22, 2020 at 5:20 PM Well, I had my bib on, at least! ~ Rejoicing

Jenna Logan July 22, 2020 at 12:38 PM I'm still giving this one some thought, Gershon. You lost me somewhere between the rain and the crow of a lusty rooster. However; "minutes dribble down my chin" is a fantastic phrase. Gershon Wolf July 22, 2020 at 5:16 PM You've heard of a scarecrow, right? Well this is a 'rain-crow.' Pretty scary, eh?! lol. ~ Dorothy and the Tinman
