Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Visions Bold and Mundane

     A bold vision takes shape in her husband’s mind
     crowds out the mundane 
     Wondering if the world is ready to embrace it
        will it be boon, or will it be bane? …
   
        Though driving his wife nearly insane 
        Adding ‘pay husband extra attention’
        to her joyous day of ~ 

             doing three full loads of laundry
             carpooling to three different schools
             supervising homework assignments
             dusting, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming
             preparing three meals for a family of six
               and washing
               the dirty dishes ~ 

         Thank God for the mundane 
         for keeping the wife’s vision plain
