Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Sweeps of Sand

The panorama's immensity
   Twilight's intensity
Profoundly felt, heart-pounding shivers
   On the shores of desert rivers

Of sweeps of sand, stretching endless
   On darkling surface friendless
Canteen emptied, my last companion
   Buried deep in this lost canyon

Caren Krutsinger September 18, 2019 at 6:21 AM Eerily accurate I imagine when a person is lost in the wilds of a desert canyon, running out of water. Gershon Wolf September 18, 2019 at 10:01 AM Yeah, nothing much worse than dying of thirst in the desert. Thanks, Caren

Sandra Adams September 17, 2019 at 7:30 PM such a poignant lonely feel to this one, it echoes through the silence...great penning my friend :) hugs Sandra Adams September 17, 2019 at 8:09 PM wow i feel honored my friend :) hugs Gershon Wolf September 17, 2019 at 7:56 PM Truth be told, I think this poem reveals that a tiny bit of your talent for penning haunting verse has penetrated my Muse. Thank you for that gift, as well as for your support.
