November Knows the Beauty of a Line

November 9, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

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

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

A calendar poem about the minimalist beauty of November:

November knows the beauty of a line:

One stroke across the heart of a gray sky.

Vacancy is where true vision lies,

Eternity redacted into time.

Memory now moves into the garden,

Bringing with it music never heard.

Each slender, naked branch is like a word

Recalling the lost happiness of Eden.
