Thirty-Five3

July 10, 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 35-year-old’s yearning for the past to a summer wind:

Thirty-five has reason to remember

How lovely was the life now left behind.

Indeed, though young, no longer in one's youth,

Recalling days awash in golden ruth,

There is much beauty in this summer wind,

Yearning far more simply than September.

For all, time is like music on the mind,

Insidiously bringing one to truth,

Vivid in the vastness of its wonder

Even as one is oneself the singer.
