Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

The Lure of the Sea

The lure of the sea was lost on me
  Forbidding waters caused me to flee

  But to where ... not to the air
  Imagine a fall from way high up there

  Seeking a safe zone, I stayed at home...
  And with little to say, I mastered the poem

Valsa George February 20, 2023 at 9:05 PM From sea and sky you fled and sought shelter in home. Home is the only place to run into when we feel insecure everywhere. Great poem, dear Gershon. Though written in a half humorous way holds much meaning ! Gershon Wolf February 22, 2023 at 6:54 PM I do everything 'half-way,' I guess. lol. Thanks, Valsa
