Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. This week’s theme is war, in honor of Veterans Day, which is celebrated
on November 11.
Today’s poem is a Veterans Day poem about how the observance
of Veterans Day allows one to move on without forgetting.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Velcro feelings disconnect
Eventually, but these
Time does not dissolve, their outlines
Etched into the sea.
Rest easy, then, as we erect
Among new-planted trees
No ordinary wayside shrines
Sustaining memory.
Days like these allow one
Again to move on. For what is gone
Yet lives, remembered ritually.
