Gershon Wolf Poet Imagism

Turning the Seashell

       turning the seashell
       adjusting my eyes
       contemplating
       passages unseen
       inside

       pushing me
       down its slide
       on slopes
       whose whispers
       surround
       my ride

Kim Rodrigues October 12, 2025 at 2:38 PM You have me turning over that shell in contemplation… Gershon Wolf October 12, 2025 at 7:39 PM Keep contemplating there, Kim. Who knows how many twists and turns shells have deep inside them? (I sure don't).
