Brittany

August 3, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is summer.

Today’s poem is a name poem for someone who, in the summer of her life, yearns for childhood innocence.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Residing momently on summer grass:
Innocence remains, but the sun soon
Turns crystal sprites to life-giving tears.
The radiant images of childhood years
Are dancing in the dream light of her moon.
Now she looks with pleasure as they pass,
Yearning for a love that’s ever dawning.
