Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Spring in honor of the March equinox, or the coming of spring, which falls on March 20.

Today’s poem is a name poem for an abused child who has to live through winter in the spring of her life.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Felicia has a winter in her spring.

Each day the frost within her meets the sun.

Loving isn't easy when a child

Is tended by a rabid dog gone wild.

Closeness means the torture has begun.

Icy though her heart, it yet will sing

As slowly tears just melted through her run.
