Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is gardens.
Today’s poem is a number poem using
a garden to symbolize an early childhood classroom.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Twenty-eight enjoys a busy morning
Working unabated in her garden.
Each tiny plant is years away from bloom,
Needing now the gift of ample room
To grow before the ground begins to harden.
Yet there is much to savor in this dawning.
Each year the winter whistles its chill warning,
Inviting her to lay aside her burden,
Glimpse unsought of universal doom.
However, she knows well her inner guerdon:
The passion that each year she will resume.
