Fifty6

October 5, 2018

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 of astonishment at reaching fifty:

Fifty isn’t half a century.
It couldn’t be! The numbers must be wrong!
For centuries cannot apply to me.
There is no way my life could be that long!
Yet numbers never lie. Unfortunately.
