Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is names – what they mean, what they are not capable of meaning, and how well the meaning of the name fits the personality of the person who bears the name.
Today’s poem is a name poem and love poem for Gemma, who is, of course, a gem.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Gemma is a--should I say it?--gem.
Even apart, she sparkles in my mind,
More brilliant than all other jewels combined,
Making all the rest of life go dim.
After her, no smile will seem the same.
