Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

What Is Life

Life is a roller coaster
  No, no, no. That’s been used

O.K. Life’s hard, then you die
  Nope. Heard that one too

Alright. Life’s a series of hairpin turns
  A little overdramatic, perhaps 

Hmm… Life’s a sucker punch to the gut
  Anthony Blinken would sue me…

O.K. Life’s a never-ending series of surprises
  Eh… Way overdone, don’t you think

I’ve got it now: At today's prices
  Life's a never-ending crisis

Heidi Sands April 5, 2022 at 12:41 PM Lol. Good one Gershon. :) Gershon Wolf April 5, 2022 at 6:16 PM Thank you so much, Heidi. Perhaps life is -- contemplating what life is... ~ Circular Reasoning

Kenneth Cheney April 5, 2022 at 12:07 PM Yes Sir, Life has always been inflationary. Gershon Wolf April 5, 2022 at 6:20 PM Indeed... My greatest concern, actually, is the inflationary rise in my abdominal area. ~ Spare Tire

Caren Krutsinger April 5, 2022 at 11:02 AM I agree with this "O.K. Life’s a never-ending series of surprises" Gershon Wolf April 5, 2022 at 6:21 PM A good outlook you have, Caren!

Valsa George April 5, 2022 at 4:43 AM Then what's life? When pondering over life, do we become more wise or grow more foolish ..... I wonder ! Insightful write ! Gershon Wolf April 5, 2022 at 6:21 PM Insights hard to come by on this topic, methinks...

Anselmo Boles April 4, 2022 at 10:56 PM Reading the title, I thought you'd spill out a very profound philosophical description of what it is.. No worries, I don't have a" worthy to be debated" point of view either!...ab Gershon Wolf April 5, 2022 at 6:22 PM Profound philosophy? Me? ~ Pro Found Phil or Sophie

L Milton Hankins April 4, 2022 at 7:41 PM That's been used, too, gw. How about a simple two-worder: life is. Or, maybe, life sucks. Let me erase this and start over. Hey, maybe that's what life is! Gershon Wolf April 5, 2022 at 6:26 PM Been working on this one since my Simon and Garfunkel days...

Jeff Kyser April 4, 2022 at 7:01 PM Life’s a box of cereal Mikey ate in the 80s… Gershon Wolf April 4, 2022 at 7:03 PM Gosh, Jeff. Where were you when I was wrestling with this question? I should have known that life was a bowl of cereal -- not a bowl of cherries. ~ Silly me
