Gershon Wolf Poet Acrostic

Love Gone By

Remembrances of my beloved son and
Old photos mounted on tears of time;
Misty images of happy days gone by,
Accuse me now of an unforgiving crime.
Nevermore to be relived,
Those moments of cherished bliss:
If I could just one mistake have back,
Could he forgive me my remiss?

Line Gauthier August 14, 2018 at 11:08 PM A very touching poem, Gershon. Gershon Wolf August 15, 2018 at 3:51 PM Line, you keep outdoing yourself. This one is six months old already---although 'old' is perhaps a word better suited to me than to my poems... Thank you! ~ Gershon

Maria Williams February 17, 2018 at 7:19 AM A truly poignant and touching write Gershon. I'm sure he does and will always do - life is made up of mistakes which are really lessons in learning ...Maria Gershon Wolf February 17, 2018 at 8:39 PM You're so right, Maria...Sometimes, of course, the damage can't be done, no matter how well we've learned the lesson and mended our ways. This case, a true story, is one of those kind of lessons, unfortunately. Warm wishes! :-) Gershon

Susan Ashley February 16, 2018 at 7:07 PM Oh Gershon, this heartbreak is expressed in such beautiful and powerful poignancy. Your emotional imagery resonates in the four chambers of my heart. Exquisitely tender and moving. Warmest wishes my friend. ~Susan Gershon Wolf February 17, 2018 at 8:37 PM Thank you for your kind, kind words. I'm thrilled that it moved you, as that's what I've always felt poetry is supposed to do: Touch hearts and move people. Warm wishes to you! :-)

Silent One February 16, 2018 at 6:31 AM Touching poem Gershon.. Gershon Wolf February 19, 2018 at 3:14 PM I don't know if you'll see this or not, but I accidentally deleted your comment on the poem, "Holy,"...I had replied, thanking you and saying that I really tried to keep that one historical, i.e., not 'politically charged,' and that I appreciated your noticing it. :) Gershon Wolf February 17, 2018 at 8:35 PM Thank you, Silent One. It's a true story, unfortunately: One of those 'lessons' from which to learn---but the mistake of which can't be repaired...
