Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Who Will Care for the Poet

     Poetry is meant to inspire the reader
        to give his heart wings 
     help him think thoughts deeper

     So, why is it in trying 
        to elevate the reader so
     the poet his own well-being foregoes

Karen Jones July 11, 2026 at 6:06 PM Great question. Is it rhetorical lol? I don’t know if there’s one size fits all answers but I have an idea that passionate poets can get lost in their work. Perhaps they are empaths and feel deeply using the feelings to create. Enjoyed reading! Gershon Wolf July 11, 2026 at 8:21 PM Nope, not rhetorical. Not really. btw, what does 'rhetorical' mean? lol.

Regina Elliott July 10, 2026 at 8:38 AM Good solid write, Gershon. I got too caught up in contests for awhile. I haven’t entered any in almost a year and I must say, I don’t miss it. I feel more free in my penning now. All the best :))))) Gershon Wolf July 11, 2026 at 8:28 PM Yeah. Me, too. I think I've entered three or four contests at most in the last calendar year.
