There Is Much Pleasure in the Love of Learning

January 3, 2018

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is epiphany, both for the holiday that falls on January 6^th and in the sense of any sudden insight or perception of meaning.

Today’s poem is a number poem for a twelve-year-old about the epiphanies that come from learning.

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

Yours,

Nick Gordon

There is much pleasure in the love of learning,

When all the world unfolds before your eyes.

Each new thing that you can know or do

Leaves you with a greater sense of you.

Vistas come before you undisguised,

Each with insights churning, turning, burning.
