Twenty-Nine4

February 20, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is politics, in honor of Presidents Day, which is celebrated today, February 20.

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

A number poem about someone who is completely devoted to a political cause:

Twenty-nine delights in erudition,
Well versed in everything he wants to know.
Each database his intellect devours
Needs just a bit of sun before it flowers,
Time within him rarely running slow.
Yet he never changes his position.

Nor does he care about his own condition,
Invested in a cause he can't forgo,
Needing every bit of ammunition,
Each fact that might give his ideas more power.
