Reason Doesn't Travel Well

May 16, 2018

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 Ramadan poem about the limitations of reason:

Reason doesn’t travel well
Across the desert sand.
Maybe it needs quince to quell
A hunger for command.
Do not think it will survive
A long and thirsty camel ride,
No nutrient near at hand.
