Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Mortal Man Becomes Myth

   Mortal man becomes myth with the passage of time
        in poetry and song, he is duly enshrined

   Yet I remember when myth once bounced on my knee
        ~ and teaching him when to say thank-you and please

Bj Legros Kelley July 19, 2026 at 8:37 PM Interesting, I had to read a couple of times, but now I see. You know what comes to my mind is the old 1969 song 'In the year 2525' by Zagar and Evans, a precautionary poetic work, and yet what have we been seeing since that song was a hit? Scary and sad.

Kim Rodrigues July 19, 2026 at 4:14 AM Love this! I would make this POTD! such a cool poem! Fave Gershon Wolf July 19, 2026 at 7:43 PM Well, thanks so much for the honor. Better than POTD from an algorithm, for sure. ~ Gershon
