Fifty-One3

August 23, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

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

Today’s poem is a number and psychological poem about the need to embrace multiple selves.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Fifty-one reviews her long-past choices,
Interested in knowing who she is.
Fortune is the child of self in ways
That one can neither understand nor phrase,
Yet must accept in searches such as this.

One is, of course, a choir of many voices,
Not just one, one might condemn or praise,
Embracing all, redemptive and remiss.
