Christopher

February 3, 2019

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 Christopher, who seeks the source of peace:

Christopher's a quiet, sheltered pool

Hidden well within a garden wall.

Remembrances of fragmentary bliss

Inspire him to seek the source of peace.

Silently he meditates, while leading

The exemplary suburban life, receding

Oddly into happiness. His lease

Passes like a slow, distracted kiss.

He discovers nothing. He finds no source at all.

Each day is ground and polished like a jewel.

Regarding life, Christopher's no fool.
