Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Poetry, the Ideal Form of Relaxation

                 I fuss and fidget over every line 
                    Perhaps I’ll think of a fancier rhyme

                 Does my imagery delight
                     Are the analogies all right

                 Ye gads, what of lilt and flow
                     Is a sonnet the way to go

                 So many elements to consider
                     Let it not turn me bitter

Kim Rodrigues May 13, 2026 at 7:22 AM Funny, I will start a poem with one form in mind…but sometimes it fashions itself and I must go with it. Gershon Wolf May 14, 2026 at 8:30 PM Same thing with me, actually. What will be, will be. ~ Doris Day

Joseph P. DiMino May 13, 2026 at 7:16 AM For sure, we can overwork things, and ourselves...when painting, an important mastery of art is to sense when to stop. I do...but like you am seldom certain. Once risen above the self, it is such a daunting responsibility knowing all that we do also represent elements of God. Gershon Wolf May 14, 2026 at 8:30 PM Wow. Never thought of things that way, Joe.

John Lawless May 13, 2026 at 5:33 AM just shut up and write.... Gershon Wolf May 14, 2026 at 8:32 PM Thanks. That's what I need to hear, John.
