Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

Unlikely -- But You Never Know -- Coming Attractions

I have yet to write a poem about a toothbrush
   or toothpaste or cremation or zinc

One thing I am sure of, however, and that is
   if I do, I shall have merely wasted a little more ink

Jean Bush October 10, 2021 at 5:32 PM A poem is a lovely brush against insipid reality, no matter the subject. Raspy bristles shine the teeth. Wad of toothpaste in the cheek. I hope to kiss a pretty maid, So this is how I start my day. Gershon Wolf October 10, 2021 at 7:15 PM Ha, ha! You sure do see the sunny side of 'insipid reality.' I don't understand the upside of 'cremation,' but a good chunk of the world practices it... Oh, well... Nice to see your avatar, Jean! :) gw

Michelle Faulkner September 11, 2021 at 2:01 PM I wrote a poem about ear wax once (really!) so I think a toothbrush poem would give me a smile :)

Judy Ball September 10, 2021 at 9:55 AM Too cute Gershon. Your ink is never wasted when you say something that needs t be said. If writing makes you feel good then it's good therapy so write on. Besides you have a fine mind so it's good to share it. Loved this. It made me smile. God Bless, JB Gershon Wolf September 10, 2021 at 3:07 PM I guess that's the point. We have to consume things in order to burn anything. Why not just waste ink?! :) gw

John Lawless September 10, 2021 at 4:27 AM Gershon, perhaps that is the composition of the black holes in space....our wasted ink...... Gershon Wolf September 10, 2021 at 3:11 PM Perhaps, indeed! ~ gw

Perhaps Spider Man sips from Cinderella's slipper at the Rodeo down by the Journey to the Center of the Earth. ~ Mister IAS Island
