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

A number poem about eighteen being the borderline between
child and adult:
Eighteen is a windswept borderline:
In a moment, gates forever closed.
Gulf of dreams behind the vanished child,
Halfway round the corner of her smile.
The change flaps in the breeze, but in a while
Each motion turns to dance, each gesture wild
Eventually is placed, positioned, posed:
No leaping for sheer joy but by design.
