Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Waters Swirl

  
    the staircase stops mid-air
      cobwebs choke in dust
    down, down critters skitter 
      down invisible rails

       waters swirl
    up springs Hope
       without a cue card 
     violins carry it off

sara Etgen-Baker September 4, 2025 at 5:37 PM you're right....violins bring hope. Well said Gershon Wolf September 4, 2025 at 7:37 PM They do, indeed --- even if they are often used for melancholy or furious music.

Joe Maverick September 4, 2025 at 1:11 PM I love tbe skirl of the pipes myself G W only befitting as barbarians go.Fast then Slow slow.' Gershon Wolf September 4, 2025 at 7:36 PM Whatever, I guess...

Hilda Greenhough September 4, 2025 at 8:20 AM Violin music is very moving. It sounds like the water is out of control. Quite a contrasting picture. Thumbs up. Gershon Wolf September 4, 2025 at 7:32 PM Alright. Keep those thumbs up there, Hilda. Thanks.
