Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Memorial Day, which is observed today, May 29.
Today’s poem is a Memorial Day poem about the need for
public mourning.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Make a little time for public mourning,
Easing the harsh pangs of hidden grief.
Maybe ritual tears will bring relief,
Offering a role for one's dark calling.
Remember the utility of sharing,
Inviting cloistered hearts to come outdoors
And dance with us along our barren shores,
Lost within the music of our longing.
Death requires our collaboration
As we render due commemoration,
Yielding sorrow to the common cause.
