Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

It Just Won't Let Me Go

       Something’s rumbling inside me
        pushing, kicking
        shoving, shouting 
     And it won’t let me go, oh no
     It just won’t let me go… 

     I should consider 
 
     Why I was selected for this
     But I never do
     I accept it as if it
     were free airline tickets
       Something not to turn down
       Something to cash in 

     Oh yeah, almost forgot
     The topic is writing
     Yes, writing
     Its grip on me 
       is what sets me free

Kathleen Hassall August 17, 2025 at 4:25 PM Nice poem, Gershon! I feel the same way. I'm never sure what's going to come out either. Poems seem to just come forth. Gershon Wolf August 17, 2025 at 8:05 PM That's the idea. If you're not happy with what comes out, you just play with it a bit and fix it...

David Crandall August 16, 2025 at 10:07 PM Good one - I think it's getting a hold of me too. Somehow, I was getting a visual like a cartoon from the first stanza. Gershon Wolf August 17, 2025 at 8:04 PM Cartoonish fits me pretty well these days. I see what you mean, David.
