Thirteen2

December 29, 2017

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 about to enter adolescence.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Thirteen is a very lucky age!

Hope runs strong as brand-new powers emerge.

In thought and feeling one has turned a page,

Revealing childish pleasures one would purge.

The future is a large and empty room,

Easy enough to furnish with one’s dreams!

Eventually, one’s brightest flowers will bloom.

Now best friends forever share their schemes.
