“Air of Grove.” A poem by Igor Timkovsky on the occasion of his return to OG.

July 28, 2024 by Blogfinger

Igor Timkovsky and son Aaron were at The Late Show 7/15. He sent us this souvenir. Their seat mates.

 

New York poet Igor Timkovsky is to return  on Sunday, July 28,  for a vacation in Ocean Grove, a place that he loves to visit.

So he wrote a poem for the occasion:

“In anticipation of my soon to be arrival in the Grove I was so much inspired last week that I wrote a few lines and was happy I did. Please let me present you with my new poem:”

Air of Grove: 

On Sunday I’ll arrive in Ocean Grove. I will inhale air of the sea. Once off the train I will already settle for what was changed and I could not foresee. I’ll do my stroll and breathe this magic air. I will take in as much as I can hold. I’ll walk on Main and I can say for sure. This little town is a piece of gold. I love it, yes, but I do not live here. My goal’s its beach, its pier, and its boardwalk. I spend a week at least and every year I write few lines in lieu of Oh! Wow! talk.

 

Igor:  Oh Wow–yes we will talk on my porch.  Thank you for your latest fine and unique poem.

 

Here is a song by another New York poet—-for you Igor:       Paul Simon from his show “Capeman”.   Don’t forget this song:  It’s called “Quality”

Pass this word onto your wonderful son Aaron for him to keep as he heads off to college.
