Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

To Stir Men's Souls

Oh, for a poem to stir men's souls
   to remove pseudo-shackles, to set new goals

Oh, for a lyric to move folks to cheer
   to cast off aspersions, to eliminate fear

Oh, for a rhyme enabling spirits to climb
   to soar to new heights - airy, sublime

Oh, for an idea to shine and shimmer
   to pass muster, yet glow on and glimmer

Oh, for an age that rewards the courageous
   ~ understands that surrender's contagious

Anselmo Boles January 30, 2022 at 10:47 PM Eloquent. Urging those to rise to the occasion, face challenges and never give up. A lot of power behind this piece G.W.!...ab Gershon Wolf February 2, 2022 at 7:51 PM More power than a locomotive... Able to jump tall buildings at a single bound... Just call me 'Super-Gersh!' ~ Clark Kent

L Milton Hankins January 30, 2022 at 8:36 PM Good poem; good writing, gw. We all yearn for these things, methinks. Gershon Wolf February 2, 2022 at 7:53 PM Yes, indeed. Please continue yearning. I'm trying to take the 'y' off the front of that word. ~ Shekels from Heaven
