Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Nary a Word Said

Nary a word was said
    as they tumbled onto the bed

  Passions in overdrive churned
    what were the lessons they learned... 

  Nary a word is said
    as they fall into bed half-dead

  In separate bedlams a-snoring
    escape from a lifetime of warring

Shirley Hawkins July 29, 2023 at 9:12 PM Silence isn't golden in this case, I think. This silence is sad because they seem to have nothing more to say or feel a need to talk to each other. Maybe. Gershon Wolf July 30, 2023 at 7:32 PM Sad, indeed...
