Gershon Wolf Poet Imagism

Waiting To Confess

Chin thrust forward, held in right hand
    pleasant sweep of hair graces unexceptional forehead

  Thoughts percolate, bubble lightly, retreat
    mouth scrunched up into grudging position

Michael Tor August 2, 2023 at 12:30 PM John cracked me up with his comment Gershon. Priceless his comment lol and your response... Gershon Wolf August 2, 2023 at 7:10 PM Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! There's more where that came from, Michael! ~ Behind the soiled curtain

John Lawless July 31, 2023 at 3:54 PM I went to confession once, told the priest that I had impure thoughts. He asked "if I had entertained them"....i replied. "no, they kinda entertained me".... Gershon Wolf July 31, 2023 at 6:43 PM Did the priest fondle you or anything?! ~ Just askin'

Panagiota Romios July 31, 2023 at 2:35 PM Very powerful emotion, so artistically described. Pangie Gershon Wolf July 31, 2023 at 6:43 PM Thanks, Pangie. Quite a compliment there. Much appreciated. :) gw

Kim Rodrigues July 31, 2023 at 7:18 AM I can feel the angst, Gershon! You’ve caught the imagery of a difficult moment fraught with differing perspectives. Gershon Wolf July 31, 2023 at 6:46 PM I also caught three butterflies and two fireflies. Net gain: +5

Valsa George July 30, 2023 at 9:36 PM Great posture. Meticulous description of the tension and relief of a confession about to take place. (Did I get the right interpretation?) Gershon Wolf July 31, 2023 at 6:47 PM You are the judge of that, not me... Seriously, I'm in no position to judge... :) gw
