Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Ion I

An effervescent ever-pheasant's
   odyssey really ought to see
   my grain's migraine
      and Lem 'n Ma rang pie

Of course, no bull's noble
   as Maple's may pull
   and gopher's go-fer
     dozen 't batten I

Camel-flesh is camouflaged
   yet a manatee's not a man 'o tea
   though a miss is a miss
      a baby is a bay bee

Enclosing in closing, Ion I must say
   (that) while bee gone is begone
   (still) Hi and high need hie
      but a by is a buy is a bye

Connie Marcum Wong November 3, 2018 at 1:37 AM You're brilliant wit amazes me Gershon! I could never come up with anything this clever! Bravo! : ) Gershon Wolf November 3, 2018 at 8:41 PM Ion I are (?) blushing... Sometimes these phrases just come out of nowhere, you know? But those times are exceedingly rare. As they say, 99% perspiration. With me, it's probably 99.9% … And how about your enchanting poems. I certainly can't come up with the kind of seamless eloquence that seems to roll of your pen... Thanks for the support, Connie. Best wishes, Gershon

Chris Green November 2, 2018 at 4:14 PM Very clever and creative my friend. Your word play is amazing. This sure seems like it was fun to write Gershon Wolf November 2, 2018 at 4:26 PM Thank you, Chris. It was fun--when it was done. Otherwise, mostly work, as usual... Oh, well. Sometimes, I wish I could just "splash a bucket of paint on a canvass, like they used to do back in the '60's...Then when I really think about that, there's no satisfaction there at all... ~ Gershon
