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 birthday poem comparing the loveliness of the birthday to
the beauty of a summer day:
The sunlight is as passionate as flowers
Bordering the sidewalk of a song.
Clouds shape its golden apertures for hours,
Shifting with each breeze that comes along.
The day becomes a mustard-colored sunbeam
Falling through the window of your smile.
Mystical sensations, headed downstream,
Sit upon your windowsill awhile.
How beautifully the choir of the mountains
Sings to its rapt audience of blue!
As dancing down a corridor of fountains,
We toss in coins and make this wish for you:
Long may you love the loveliness of Earth!
And celebrate with joy your day of birth.
