Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is sacrifice in honor of Eid al-Adha, which this year is celebrated on August 21-22.

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

A name poem about drug addicts who are resolved sacrifice their habit for the sake of their child:

Darrin is a ship of dreams

Afloat upon a wind

Reserved for those whom love redeems,

Resolved to turn again

In grim and patient sacrifice,

Not for themselves, but him.
