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

A birthday poem for an Internet friend:
Happy birthday to my cyber friend!
As words must be our medium, a poem,
Perhaps, may best my birthday wishes send,
Poems being inner portraits out on loan.
Yet I would be a landscape in the mountains,
Bright sun battering an empty sky,
Immense rock faces answering all questions,
Resolving all in what instead of why.
To you instead I send a humble hope
Hedged with roses swaying in the wind,
Diminutive in eloquence and scope,
A wish for one day beautiful and kind,
Yet with all my heart and wistful mind.
