Eight2

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is age.

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

A number poem about how fast eight year olds want to grow up:

Eight year olds, of course, are not yet nine.

Instead, they try to act like they are ten,

Growing up more rapidly than Time

Has time to pass more patiently with them.

They’ll slow down, I know. But who knows when?
