Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is fantasy and dream.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A number poem about the joy and pain involved in writing
fiction:
To create a world requires passion.
Hollow hours must be filled with beauty.
Immersed in make believe, one sojourns there,
Reduced to ecstasy and then despair,
Then breaks off for some unurgent duty
Yet can’t put down a phrase one would refashion.
One feels writ small the joy of the Creation,
Nor would one trade it for a huckster’s booty,
Even as one lays one’s person bare.
