Gershon Wolf Poet Imagism

Pre-Concert Panorama

Cocked heads at curious angles
Fingers probing
plucking
plinking
Seeking a certain sound
Not quite yet...
Restlessness increasing
As if we who have paid good money for this are not---
Ah! There it is
The lights dim...

Jennifer Proxenos September 8, 2019 at 1:29 AM I feel your anticipation mounting in this write, almost to the point of aggravation, but then the sweet sound only seconds away as the lights dim - great write. hugs Jennifer. Gershon Wolf September 8, 2019 at 11:13 AM It can get a bit aggravating listening to all that discord. Thanks, Jennifer. ~ gw

CayCay Godwin September 7, 2019 at 11:24 PM I relate to all of it, felt myself shift in my chair, except line 8 which describes people I divorce. Just kidding. When you dimmed the lights, I could feel the anxious audience dim their thoughts, relax, and enjoy. All the best ... CayCay Gershon Wolf September 7, 2019 at 11:32 PM Sounds like we're on the same wave length tonight... But it's time for me to ease off this wave and onto the pillow. Thanks for making the send-off so pleasant. I really do owe you. Lights out. Shhh….
