Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is anniversaries.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A ninth anniversary poem about the need to cope with the
heaven of a good marriage:
Here is all
the heaven one might hope,
A cornucopia
of circumstance.
Praised be
those who can with heaven cope,
Pleased with
each day’s blessings in advance.
Yet there
are those who look at life askance.
Nor is
heaven anywhere but here –
In your love
and gentleness of heart.
None who
dwells there happily need fear
The pain
that tears self-centered souls apart,
Hard put to find content in life or art.
