Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is trees in honor of Arbor Day, which was celebrated on April 28.
Today’s poem is a name poem, comparing a woman to a grove of
ancient trees.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Lauren is a grove of ancient trees.
Around her is the hush before the word--
Unfinished, like a fluttering of wings.
Resisting words, she shelters wide-eyed things,
Easy in the twilight, as a bird
Nestles in against a cold, dark breeze.
