gershon hepner Poems

Fun and frolic, fashion, flash,
lechery and chamber pots,
lots of women seeking cash
from the men who have the hots,
...

There’s more than one way to perform
Bach’s St. Matthew Passion,
there’s no right way, or even norm,
for style resembles fashion,
...

Bars that keep a felon in,
keratin and melanin
trap the colors on the tail
that a peacock loves to flail.
...

If you’re accustomed to a constant ream
of cyberinformation, you’ll be bored
when digitally you’re deprived. Your stream
of consciousness won’t be restored
...

Regard me, one side and the other,
each side is not the other’s brother,
for usually each side’s in hiding
behind my artifice, the siding
...

Hard on her saddle now riding her cycle
my lady engages the road less than me,
and seems to be frozen in thought, an icicle
for those who don’t know that her feelings are free.
...

Proverbs


Wisdom is the counsel that is woven
...

Some sopranos are like high-explosive shells
and others are like Queens of Night on acid,
a few of them have voices like cracked bells,
but you will rarely hear one who is placid.
...

Words a Polish girl was talking
in a train confused the poet Phil,
causing him to give up stalking.
He thought there was no chance that she could thrill
...

The greatest stimulant of life is hope,
more powerful than joyat's realized;
though you may hang yourself with this long rope,
when suffocating, do not be surpris\ed.
...
