Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week in honor of the beginning of the holiday season
is Happy Holidays.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A Happy Holidays poem about the need to celebrate
happiness:
Happiness could use some
recognition,
A word or two of pleasure and of praise.
Perhaps it's not a matter of cognition.
Perhaps it needs the help of holidays.
Yet there is ample cause for unshed sorrow,
Hapless housemate one can’t leave behind,
Old comrade that will still be there tomorrow
Lest one lose the past and go forth blind.
In holidays there is a happiness
Deep and wide enough to hold the whole,
A truth that is too subtle to express
Yet satisfies enough to still the soul,
Serving as the gift that pays the toll.
