Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Just a Pair of Kids

  
	      They had their chances
                 She had hers; he had his

               Furtive glances
                   just a pair of kids

                Not a single word did they exchange
                    no rendezvous ever arranged

                Even nature seemed to agree
                    their initials never carved in a tree

David Crandall April 29, 2026 at 3:53 PM Feels like a nice catch of some nostalgic childhood moments. Gershon Wolf April 29, 2026 at 8:31 PM Actually, this is autobiographical in nature. Joke's on me.

Kim Rodrigues April 29, 2026 at 2:26 AM Yup, sure does happen. Perhaps, they are not setup with Mr. or Ms. Right…missed the boat that sailed through their classroom.

Judy Ball April 28, 2026 at 9:30 PM I like this Gershon. Really good imagery here of a boy and a girl growing up together from babyhood. Nice job. God Bless, JB Gershon Wolf April 29, 2026 at 8:32 PM From 'babyhood' to the mean streets of 'the hood.'
