Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is wedding anniversaries.
Today’s poem is an 11th anniversary poem about
the continued need for romance in marriage.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Each year a marriage gets a little
better,
Like a house slowly
settling in.
Edges age, smooth
out, then lean together;
Voices whisper
faintly in the wind.
Even so, fresh
flowers can do wonders,
Needed at the
windows, at the door.
Years of wear could
use a little color,
Embellishing what
else needs little more.
All marriages can
profit from romance,
Required to turn
duty into dance,
Still beautiful,
with much more love in store.
