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 fifteenth anniversary poem about how such a poem might be
written:
Here’s a
sonnet for your anniversary,
A little
poem to brighten up your day,
Pleased to
be considered more than cursory,
Pleased to
be perused along your way.
Yet tuneful
words are sometimes out of tune:
From a
distance one applies one’s art
In all good
faith to what one must assume –
Feelings
that one conjures in one’s heart.
There in the
fiery cauldron of one’s love
Emotions can
be hammered into grace,
Each with
little heft and much to prove,
Now situate
where form and sense embrace.
Then off the
tiny package goes to you,
Hoping it’s both beautiful and true.
