Gershon Wolf Poet Rubai

Split Sea Soup

The soup tonight is matzo ball
    A night of wonder for one and all

  Crossing the Sea on foot is a tricky proposition ~
    There's poetry in the majestic seawall

LOL.Enjoy your day my friend./Darlene\ Gershon Wolf April 13, 2023 at 7:43 PM Well, matzo balls are not for everyone, I guess. I'll scratch you from my "Matzo Ball Cake Delivery List," Darlene. lol.

Kim Rodrigues April 13, 2023 at 3:05 PM Me think your soup is parting the seas ;) Makes me think of the movie “Bruce Almighty” I do like the title. I put on “The Ten Commandments” when my 8 year old grandson was here last weekend. Then his mom put it on when he got home, “I watched this at Grandma’s house.” He is now well versed in “Moses…Moses…” LOL Gershon Wolf April 13, 2023 at 7:45 PM Moses Mendelson? Moses Malone? Grandma Moses? Holy Moses! lol. Thanks for the comment, Kim. Happy and Blessed Weekend! :) gw

Paula Goldsmith April 13, 2023 at 11:20 AM I enjoyed your write. You can have my matzo ball soup. More for you to enjoy. I do not like it. Have a blessed day writing away.............. Gershon Wolf April 13, 2023 at 7:49 PM I'll be the Matzo Ball Blimp (like Goodyear) if I eat any more of that stuff. ~ Limit Reached

Sara Kendrick April 12, 2023 at 2:11 PM I like the pay on words used here. Moses was a giant among men, but he did not want to commit at first. God had to keep on working with him, but the outcome was excellent. Thanks for sharing this one today and for dropping by my page. Sara Gershon Wolf April 13, 2023 at 7:52 PM Once he committed, Moses was all in though... American Presidents -- Biden, Trump, Obama -- could have all learned a lesson!

Bill Baker April 12, 2023 at 10:19 AM Miracles happen when man listens to God and does as told. Interesting form for your poem today. A poet friend in Texas, Bill Gershon Wolf April 13, 2023 at 7:52 PM Correctimundo! That's why God gave us 2 ears and 1 mouth, as my mother never tired of reminding me... Thanks, Bill

Ilene Bauer April 12, 2023 at 9:09 AM ha! the title alone is worth the read, gershon, but the rest did not disappoint... Gershon Wolf April 13, 2023 at 7:54 PM Glad it works for you, ilene. ~ Back to my soup now...
