Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

The Joy of Running

    Searing, the sun
      no shade on this run

    perilous, the wind
      eyes let sand in

    draining, the humidity
      tempting torpidity…  

    steep hill appears ~
      tears, no more gears

Karen Jones July 3, 2024 at 9:35 PM I admire people with the ability and discipline to run! If I had to run for my life I’d be in trouble lol. Good poem Gershon. Gershon Wolf July 4, 2024 at 7:58 PM Running is interesting. Are we running away from something or towards something? Or both. ~ Chasing my tail, gw
