Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is spirituality, in honor of the Muslim holy
month of Ramadan, which begins on May 16th.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A name poem for a new-born child just descended from Heaven:
Alyssa's the angel I hold in my arms
Like a spirit not yet metamorphed to a self.
Yet anchored in life by my love unrestrained,
Sucking my breast that her flesh be maintained,
She crosses from Heaven that wild-flowered gulf
As her Eden gives way to fences and farms.
