Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Hanukkah, which began at sundown on December 2nd and will end at sundown on December 10th.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A Hanukkah poem using the Hanukkah candles as a
metaphor for happiness:
Happiness comes wholly from the
heart,
A light within illuminating
darkness.
Now the candles flicker, now they
flare,
Undulating feeling lighting where
Knowledge must give way to faith
and art,
Kindled by the sense that gloom
is senseless,
And love can make a song even of
sadness,
Harmony in which one sings one’s part.
