Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Spring, Let Me Reclaim You

Dreaming of gaily-colored tulips
    red's majesty, iris purple
      sunburst yellow...

  Eyes grown heavy, curtains closing
    a smile dancing on dewy lips
      envisioning a soft April's morn...

  O, Spring, let me reclaim you
    if only for this moment
      if only in this dream

Elizabeth Mccann November 11, 2022 at 12:59 PM Congratulations, Gershon! on the POTD, but also on the idea of reclaiming Spring. As I grow older, I become more like our ancient ancestors, uncertain if Spring will come again. Elizabeth Gershon Wolf November 13, 2022 at 12:21 PM The way things have changed in my lifetime, I wonder if the leaves will fall on top of the snow, or whether they'll be raked before the first snow comes. We'll see...
