Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Notes About The Poem

It is hot as blazes in Chicago today, my friends ...

Pow

Crack open the front door 
  Oh   so   gingerly

Extend your neck
  Chin   thrust   forward

Your nose edges out...side       
  POW!  YOU   ARE   RAMMED!

By  a  Wall
  Of  the  hottest  air  
   
 This   Side   of   Hell  

Tuck your chin back in...side 
  Wince ... once  
     Wince ... twice

Blink  salty  tears  stream  down  your  face 
  Your  January  Dream  come  true!

Freddie Robinson Jr. July 28, 2018 at 11:52 AM Ah, cool write, Gershon. Me love the hot weather, but I gotta do what you intimated in this warm write. Stay frosty on the inside tip. lol! Sorry for not stopping by lately ... my bad. As for the weather ... I dread the heat far less than the frigid. I'm not saying ... I'm just saying. Ha, ha ... ha. Outstanding free verse poetry. Love waves give smiles and smiles of joy. Gershon Wolf July 29, 2018 at 10:20 PM Your comment is worth its weight in gold, my friend. Thank you so much!! ~ Gershon
