Thirty-Two4

July 9, 2018

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 .

A number poem comparing a 32-year-old to a summer storm:

Thirty-two is like a summer storm

Howling in the heat of windless days:

Impassioned in pursuit of promised treasure,

Raging through fields planted deep with pleasure,

The flood of life unleashed on well-worn ways.

Yet, of course, such tempests are the norm.

There is for now but little listless leisure

When passion is itself of passions shorn,

One pent-up dream in one’s ambitious gaze.
