Gershon Wolf Poet Monorhyme

Screen Star Fade

The beauty fades, fades, fades away

   Treatments, surgery, balms, Beaujolais

Only delay ever-creeping decay

   The face now ash gray ~ vanished her day

Jenish Somadas July 26, 2020 at 9:47 PM Lovely verse Gershon.. The four lines said the story of a life time...Good luck.. Gershon Wolf July 27, 2020 at 4:50 PM Take the 'i' out of the word said, and here's what you wrote: 'The four lines sad, the story of a lifetime.' How about that?! ~ Revisionist
