Linda

August 5, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is summer.

Today’s poem is a name poem for a woman who loves long summer afternoons.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Linda loves long summer afternoons.
Inside voices hush, the wind subsides.
Night waits as golden sorrow bathes her heart,
Deep cleansing beneath angry lips of wounds,
Absorbing pain where hunger still abides.
