Notes About The Poem

I almost used "Frost's," as in Robert Frost, but then I thought our own "Gershon Wolf," would fit the bill. Hopeful that he likes this one.

Poetic License

poetic license
writers can be dangerous
tongues stretching and snapping gum
back and forth carriage
sardonic eyes…lies, lies, lies
Wolf’s truth sandwiched imagery

Amazing what people can get away with while calling it 'poetic license'.

When it’s AI that is not good, for sure. I’m guessing that’s what you are referring to. Thanks for reading!

Gershon is an intellectual and a philosopher so if this refers to him I always admire and enjoy and sometimes battle with his poems. You come under the same category aa clever Philosopher Kim dearest friend. Loce and hugs Jenny

Now, as to Andrea's comment: Looks like a misprint, perhaps, as Gershon is ON THE rocks. ... Whatever ... Seriously, now, thanks for the nods lately. Gives me a boost. Really. Esp. as I admire your talent and respect your opinion. With appreciation, Gershon

So sorry that you’re “on the rocks.” I can tell there are difficult things going on. Thank you so much.

Lots to say here…not sure of what it all means but that anger works for you…funny too - as long as I’m 35 yards away that also helps. Thank you, Joe!
