Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

On a Lovely, Festive Summer Day

The willow sways in the breeze
       Flowers emerge from their leaves
     Forest creatures come forth to play
       It's a lovely, festive summer day

     Inside my home's another story
       In family quarrels there is no glory
     Why can't my own siblings see
       Today is custom-made 
                            ~ the world agrees

David Smith November 18, 2021 at 11:00 AM While there is no magic bullet throwing it out there may give a reader cause for pause. Poetry I often think is a powerful tool that can change minds around issues and become that ah ha moment. Great poem, can't go past a sunny day as backdrop to your message. Best regards David in NZ Gershon Wolf November 18, 2021 at 6:16 PM Thanks David in NZ. Hoping it's a sunny day down your way. Smiles for miles, Gershon

Bill Baker November 17, 2021 at 11:36 AM Another clear snapshot of the delima of childhood. The differences between siblings is amazing. Caught up in our own ego, trying to find our self worth; blinds us to the beauty of the diffences in others. A poet friend, Bill Gershon Wolf November 18, 2021 at 6:10 PM Gosh, you must have been an awesome brother, Bill. As for me, I was a total jerk. ~ Steve Martin
