Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is revolution in honor of Bastille Day, which was
celebrated on July 14th.
Today’s poem is a number poem about the peaceful feminist
revolution.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Frailty, thy name’s no longer woman!
One’s destiny no longer is one’s gender.
Rebellion has turned into revolution,
The kind that frees, that casts old selves
asunder,
Yielding souls that find their selves in no one.
This is a time to try the souls of women,
When time is broken, and one becomes a sculptor,
Old enough to shape one’s generation.
