Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Time On My Hands

Do deadlines and due dates
  ever rattle my brain
No, no - I'm a poet
  It's not fair to complain

I’m free to sit
  and dream up ideas
Or try my wit
  my reader to please  

O, lucky me
  with time on my hands
When the hourglass drains
  ~ just flip the sand

Caren Krutsinger April 22, 2022 at 2:33 AM I like the casualness of this write.

Jennifer Proxenos April 16, 2022 at 1:09 PM Time, between our business which we do from home, and poetry which I love and choose above all, oh and series - a little every night, we have our hands full - we go to bed exhausted, and the next day we do it all again, it seems some never learn! Hugs, blessings, Jennifer. Gershon Wolf April 17, 2022 at 8:08 PM Time's all we have... Gotta run! :)

Michelle Faulkner April 15, 2022 at 9:01 AM You are one of the lucky ones, gw, time is precious indeed :) Gershon Wolf April 15, 2022 at 2:01 PM I am, indeed, a very lucky one... Here's to a four-leaf clover popping up for you, Michelle! Smiles, Gershon

Deb M April 15, 2022 at 3:36 AM LOve it Mr Wolf! Debx Gershon Wolf April 15, 2022 at 2:01 PM Thanks for the love on this one, Deb! Happy Easter to you.

Jeff Kyser April 14, 2022 at 8:19 PM When I retired, life was grand; // I stopped wearing the old watch, and // now I’ve got less time on my hand…. Gershon Wolf April 14, 2022 at 8:25 PM Ha, ha, ha, ha! You are as clever as ever, Jeff. I so enjoy reading you comments! Keep those cards and letters coming, my friend. Laughter and levity, Gershon

L Milton Hankins April 14, 2022 at 8:16 PM This is clever as all get out, gw. I enjoyed it, and I thought how it describes so many of us. Sometimes I get into this site and before I know it five hours has gone by! Gershon Wolf April 14, 2022 at 8:25 PM I know what you mean, Milt. That's why I usually wait until about 8 p.m. or so in the evening to get started. That way, I won't 'overdo it.' Cheers, Gershon
