Dear Subscriber:

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

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

A philosophical name poem about language and perception:

Beverly enjoys a conversation.

Even when alone, she chatters on

Vivaciously, convivial as a bird,

Eager in pursuit of some bright word.

Reality to her is a relation:

Language is the sculptor of sensation

Yielding to the wisdom of the stone.
