Dear Subscriber:

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

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

A name poem for Alistair, a man who likes to show off how much he knows:

Alistair exudes sophistication,

Leaning on his learning as though lame.

Intelligence in him is like a curtain,

Shutting off the windows to his heart.

There is with him no chance for conversation,

As though each point were counted in some game.

Intent on winning, prepped and always certain,

Rest assured he'll flaunt his range and art.
