Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is miscarriage, stillbirth, and death in early childhood.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A name poem for a stillborn child:

Aryanna died when she was born,

Reminding us how briefly we are here.

Years, like minutes, cannot last for long;

A note is no less precious than a song,

Nor for her early death was she less dear.

Now what we can do for her is mourn,

As she is salient only to our tears.
