Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Poetry Rap

Long poems, short poems
    Wide poems, narrow 
  High poems, low poems
    Romance, Cupid's arrow

  Old poems, new poems
    Red poems, blue poems
  Luddite poems, uptight poems
    Bawdy poems - screw 'em

  Flower poems, color poems
    Nature poems galore
  Tall tales and whoppers
    Who knows what's in store

  Rhyme & Meter, Foot & Beat
    Metaphor or Simile
  Triolets and Woe is Me
    Dot the i's, cross the t's 

  Stirring Odes and Tributes
    Limericks, Epitaphs
  If not too darn serious
    Some will make you laugh

  Futuristic? The past's terrific
      Everything is unspecific 
             You see 
      ~ Just call it Poetry

Jennifer Proxenos August 13, 2022 at 1:30 PM You say it quite right my friend, we can let our imaginations go wild for we are futuristic,terrific and unspecific, today's definition of poets and their poetry. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf August 13, 2022 at 8:27 PM We are, and we will continue to be, Jennifer. Limitless, borderless poetry! :) gw

Valsa George August 11, 2022 at 10:16 PM What umpteen variety ! Agree with what W.A.Cholt has opined ! Poetry is the one art form that gives us unlimited freedom ! Enjoyed your poem on Poetry, dear Gershon ! Gershon Wolf August 13, 2022 at 8:23 PM Too much freedom is usually a bad thing. Not here though. Thanks, Valsa. :)

L Milton Hankins August 11, 2022 at 5:49 PM A good one, gw. Enjoyed it. Gershon Wolf August 11, 2022 at 7:47 PM Thank you, Milt. Rap on, gw

W.A. Cholt August 11, 2022 at 3:58 PM Enjoyed. One of the great freedoms of writing poetry is that it's less restrictive and more open to creative experimentation than other art forms. Gershon Wolf August 11, 2022 at 7:45 PM You're right! We just have to be vigilant so as not to let those government bureaucrats start regulating us. lol. Let us not get bewitched by Liz Warren and friends! Cheers, gw

Shirley Hawkins August 11, 2022 at 12:09 AM I must say I agree Poetry is poetry What else could it be? Gershon Wolf August 11, 2022 at 7:44 PM Are you sure that Poetry is poetry? I say it depends what 'is' is. ~ Slick Willy Clinton
