The Moth Beats Its Wings

the moth beats its wings
  frantically
  now elevating
  now lowering
  apocalyptically...
the candle extinguished
  what was that
     all about

Terry Flood Date: 9/14/2021 4:40:00 PM This poem has me worried, Gershon. You’ve obviously spent as much time fascinated by mothy antics as I have. How an ny man hours, worldwide, are being thus wasted? What marvels have never been invented because we’re all watching moths. ;-) Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/23/2021 6:18:00 PM Well, I'd rather spend my time with butterflies, truth be told. Take care, Terry. :) gw

Gary Radice Date: 9/14/2021 2:04:00 AM Rightly or wrongly I sense an air of Icarus in your wonderful rhyme Gershon. Cheers - Gary Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 9/23/2021 6:17:00 PM Icarus and the Apocalypse, I guess. Thanks Gary. ~ Gershon
