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 child who died within the womb:

Caitlin lived a long and happy life,

All within the palace of my womb.

If she could not joy to be a wife,

There were some bright colors on her loom.

Let those who mourn remember that she died

In sweet communion with my soul inside,

Nor did she lack for love from bliss to tomb.
