Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Leaving Anatevka

They're leaving Anatevka
  Anatevka, Ukraine
Their dreams of a Fiddler on the Roof
  ~ now smeared with blood and tear-stained



_____________________________________
Anatevka, Ukraine, is a town designed as a re-
fuge for those fleeing the war Putin started in 
Donnetsk, (and other cities) back in 2014...
And, yes, it IS the name of the fictional village 
in the movie, 'Fiddler on the Roof.'

Ann Foster March 9, 2022 at 4:39 PM So true... so sad... so very well written... Ann Gershon Wolf March 9, 2022 at 6:48 PM Thank you for such a nice comment, Ann. Here's to better days ahead, Gershon

L Milton Hankins March 8, 2022 at 8:36 PM So sad. So sad. Hopefully this will end soon, with Putin withdrawing. He's becoming increasingly unpopular at home, especially with his oligarchs. Gershon Wolf March 9, 2022 at 6:47 PM So sad to see another Anatevka pack it in...
