Amalia

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is portraits of women.

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

A name poem for Amalia, a woman who knows the secret of happiness:

Amalia is happy, though life can be sad,

Making harsh words into rhythm and rhyme,

A friend whose sweet smile might make a tear laugh,

Loosen a longing, cut sorrows in half,

Impose on abuses a bright rainbow sign

As she returns good for all that is bad.
