Dear Subscriber:

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

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

A name poem about sibling rivalry:

Abel Jeremiah is the younger

Brother of Cierra Juliann*.

Each day he stays awake a little longer,

Limbs flailing as he tries out what he can.

Just a few months old, he is already

Engaged in uninhibited flirtation,

Returning looks with wide eyes bright and steady,

Exploring the terrain of the relation.

Make room for him, Cierra, in your heart!

In time he will become a lifelong friend.

Although he draws all eyes as though by art,

He'll be drawn to your eyes in the end.
