Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme, as the days grow shorter and colder, is the approach
of winter.
Today’s poem is written for January, born into the winter
cold.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
January waits, unsentimental,
Again born into beauty, cruel and kind.
Nor cold nor darkness fools the wily child,
Unweeping in a brutal wind and wild,
As the Earth turns passionless and blind.
Rejoicing in her birth, she dons the mantle,
Yearning to recall what lies behind.
