Just Sitting and Whittling

    just sitting and whittling
      whittling and sitting
    is patience a virtue
      or time infinite

    a figure takes shape
      imagination sparks
    is it possible that
      can mastery  

    notions awash in clover
      someday ~                     
    just sittlng and whittling
      whittling and sitting

Paul Willason June 25, 2024 at 5:58 AM A magical poem Gershon, captures a mood beautifully....I have lost the art of whittling, had it in abundance as a child with my trusty pocket knife...poetry has become my substitute. Take care my friend... Gershon Wolf June 25, 2024 at 4:21 PM Appreciate your encouragement, Paul. From a bona-fide master of description like yourself, this is good news for me. Thanks, Mr. Wan A.
