Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Journey of One Drop

               Sip it ever-so-slowly
                 roll it over your tongue
               pause it at the back of your throat

                 neither ‘down it,’ let it float
               gently through safe and secret passages
                  ‘til it exits, still as a resting musical note

How you could write a rhyme on how to savour and devour H2O! Pleasure reading, dear GW, sending you light always Gershon Wolf May 25, 2026 at 7:50 PM Abot that H2O reflection of yours. I guess you have uncovered my deepest, darkest secret.: I bring my keyboard in with me to the loo. I trust that it will not be 'my Waterloo.' ~ Nap O. Leon

Nice one..Very uniquely yours. ^___^ JCB Gershon Wolf May 25, 2026 at 7:50 PM That's right. One drop's journey -- akin to that of a balloon that makes it past the highest tree...

Paula Goldsmith May 24, 2026 at 1:46 PM Oh yes, "Journey of One Drop" to make up a glass. A wonderful read/write. Have a fun/great day writing away............... Gershon Wolf May 24, 2026 at 7:52 PM Better than a 'drop in the bucket.' lol.

Joseph P. DiMino May 24, 2026 at 7:20 AM Sooooooooo beautiful! Great poetry! Blessings my friend. We soulfully learn...selfishly teach -- and adoringly sing. An ear tuned by a Sacred Heart.
