to lose yourself in poetry

  in image vibrant reverently

responsibility absents thee

  thoughts sprout wings

Hi, John! Now that I know there's such a thing as POTW, thanks for the nod! (I honestly had no idea there was such a thing!). Poetry and Prose too! :) gw

Congratulations on having written this week's POTW, Gershon. Quite often we lose track of time while writing something, 'magical.' I'm happy for you!

Gershon Wolf
Date: 9/6/2020 10:21:00 AM

It's a good thing you let me know about this POTW business. I honestly didn't know that such recognition existed!! Is there a POTM too. That's Poem of the Minute -- ha, ha! -- not really: Poem of the Month... or the Millenium. I'm going to suggest PTOTM -- Participation Trophy of the Month for up-and-coming poets, who may not be able to take rejection. lol. Thanks, Jenna! :) gw

Gershon Wolf
Date: 9/6/2020 10:23:00 AM

Well, you're certainly right about me being a 'different person.' (My relatives will all back you on that one! lol)... Nice of you to notice, seriously. I'm hoping 'Week' is not spelled with an 'a' in it. lol. Thank you, Jan. :) gw
