Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is being in one’s twenties.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A number poem about the pleasures and difficulties of being
twenty-seven:
To be in full bloom is not always easy:
When at an apex, one has intimations.
Each stage of life is equally precious,
No number of years makes a glance less infectious,
The child unchanging through all perturbations.
Yet there is that which might make a rose queasy.
So naked the night! So painfully luscious!
Each moment limned by unclouded sensations!
Vicissitudes waiting, felicities breezy,
Each day brings one closer to one's limitations:
Never so perfect a time to perplex us!
