Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is summer: its storms, its gentle winds, its
fruit, its flowers.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

An anniversary poem comparing a couple’s love to a summer
garden:
Happy ninth! A time that gathers time
And hands it to you in a bright bouquet.
Perhaps not all is roses, but the flowers,
Plucked from paradise, portray all love,
Yearning for the beauty it reveals.
Nor ought you wonder, for what time conceals
In time will bloom, and scatter seed, and prove
No little portion of your future powers,
The garden that no time can take away,
Herbs and blossoms, mint and eglantine.
