Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Shake It Up, Gershon

       Not too many fellow poets read my lines anymore
          I’m either rather predictable or a total bore

       So, I’ve read the tea leaves; I’ve got to change
          My mental approach I need to rearrange

       Instead of couplets, should I write sonnets?
          Or on every rhyme, put  more spin on it?

       I’m not sure, but something’s got to give
          ~ unless with a handful of readers I’m content to live

Regina Elliott September 6, 2026 at 5:56 AM Good Sunday morning Gershon, you’re a very talented poet, so the poetic heights of quality is there. I get very few comments but it doesn’t bother me anymore. I quit entering contests a year ago, just “meh” about them. Keep on penning my good poetry friend. Shalom u’vrakha :)

John Lawless September 5, 2026 at 7:21 AM I believe that some of it has to do with the recent changes PS made...so .... "shut up and keep writing" I know how to find you.....
