Suscilia

July 15, 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 name poem comparing a woman to a modest summer flower in the shade:

Suscilia is a flower in the shade.
Unless one looks for her, she is not there.
Such modesty in loveliness is rare,
Charming in a way that does not fade.
In her there is a calm and quiet space
Lying over thrumming agitation.
Inside she may explode with indignation
As outside one sees dignity and grace.
