Fortune Comes Embellished with Small Print

June 3, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is fate, fortune, and free will.

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

A philosophical number poem about the acceptance of fortune:

Fortune comes embellished with small print.
Of course you get the product that you chose,
Reasonably like the one you saw,
Though, perhaps, distorted by the pose.
Yet of its codicils there is no hint.

Take it all! Take it! For who knows
What might have been? Afoot on any shore,
One who loves the sea can be content.
