Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

My Home Outdoors

I step outside to gaze up at the sky
   Day by day different clouds float by
Some puffy, some wispy, others gray or white
   Some set with the sun at dusk
Others stay out the whole summer night  

On my block, a remarkable variety of trees
   Maples, oaks, elms, evergreens my eye sees
Some older, some younger, others sturdy or frail
   Each one with a story, with his very own tale. 

Beneath me are grasses, herbs, weeds, vegetation
   Creepy crawly bugs and insects, marvels of creation
Indoors may well be a kingly palace of comfort and ease
   My home is outdoors, midst fresh air's gentle breeze

Lindsay Laurie March 30, 2020 at 7:54 PM Hello Gershon … under these circumstances it is a when we can observe nature and try to understand that everything on our planet has a reason to be here. All we need to do is to take this down time to admire it - thank you Gershon - Lindsay Gershon Wolf March 30, 2020 at 10:18 PM And thank you, Lindsay! :) Gershon

Connie Marcum Wong March 30, 2020 at 2:20 PM So you are stuck inside... I am fortunate to have a small yard with roses to care for and they are not aware of the virus, they are blooming like crazy. I love how you have included the trees and tiny creatures that thrive outside Gershon. We will never gather in a crowd again without appreciating it after this virus passes. Your poem is like a breath of fresh air! I loved it! Have a great week. Stay safe. xxoo Gershon Wolf March 30, 2020 at 5:45 PM Glad you like the poem, Connie, and even gladder that you have a garden full of blooms! Thank you for your good wishes, and here's to a great week! Smiles, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger March 29, 2020 at 11:59 PM You know I am such a nature lover that this appeals to me in every kind of way; I feel I am enjoying the same outdoors that you are my friend, and it is marvelous! Gershon Wolf March 30, 2020 at 12:22 PM Enjoying that outdoors indoors for the most part these days, unfortunately. Oh, well... This too will pass. :) Gershon
