Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Passing Fancies

               one day she wishes to be queen
                 the next, starlet of the silver screen
               her wishes take off and run the gamut
                  from fairy princess to sweet sixteen

               do we take her seriously
                  or dismiss these as ‘passing fancies’ 
               which, lasting ‘too long’
                  make us antsy

David Crandall April 14, 2026 at 8:55 PM Sounds like a teenage girl? I wouldn't know. I never had sisters and never had a daughter. It seems nice to have dreams, though. I feel like those go the way of the dodo too soon.
