The Lighthouse

The lighthouse by the rocky shore
stands tall, a tribute to the past,
recalling days of sailors’ lore.
The lighthouse by the rocky shore -
forlorn – gives forth its light no more.
May glory’s recollections last!
The lighthouse by the rocky shore
stands tall, a tribute to the past.

Dec. 22, 2018 for Eve Roper's Lighthouse Poetry Contest

Gershon Wolf Date: 12/24/2018 10:02:00 PM So exquisitely stated---as stark in its beauty as the lighthouse 'which gives forth its light no more.' A FAVE for me! Best of the season, Andrea! :) gw Login to Reply
