Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is new beginnings, in honor of the New Year.
Today’s poem is a number poem for someone just recently
retired.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Sixty-six is happily retired,
Immersed in interests she has long enjoyed.
X-ray well her will and you will find
That none of its resolve has been destroyed.
Yet now a bit less shuffling is required.
So has her leisure left her spirit buoyed,
In labor lost, but of a different kind,
Xerophyte in bloom, by grace inspired.
