Charles

January 12, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is the performing arts.

Today’s poem is a humorous, philosophical name poem about the common error of thinking you are in control.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Charles undoes his silver studs.
He then rolls up his sleeves
And waves his arms as honking swans
Rejoice at his decrees.
Long may he wave, the swamp frogs rave,
Each joining in the din,
Singing just for him!
