Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

'neath the Willow

Let me write a couple lines
  before I go to sleep

I promise not to burden you
  nor to make you cry or weep

Lay your face down on the pillow
  on the shoreline 'neath the willow

May you the sandman sprinkle
  with dreams of stars that twinkle

Terry Flood July 11, 2021 at 11:40 AM Love it, Gershon. No more counting sheep for me. If I can’t sleep, I’ll recite this to myself. [No, I’m not saying your poetry puts me to sleep - honest]. I adore ‘on the shoreline ’neath the willow . Terry Gershon Wolf July 11, 2021 at 5:35 PM Terry, pleasant dreams to you, my friend. Peace, Gershon
