Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

You Can Get Some Satisfaction

      madness is 
         thinking of
      e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g
         you think 
      you’ll accomplish
         today 

     satisfaction comes
         before 
          thought

sara Etgen-Baker July 31, 2025 at 4:17 PM I had to chuckle as I finished this poem. I seem to always want to accomplish more than I feasibly can...doing so creates frustration....you're right..satisfaction comes before my contemplation :-) wishing you a splendid evening, Sara

Kim Rodrigues July 31, 2025 at 6:06 AM LOL! I don’t meditate at what I didn’t get done (anymore) but rather take into account those things I did get done…satisfaction, sweet poet!
