To Mrs. Quinn, the Queen of Poetry

December 22, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

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

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

A thank-you poem to an English teacher on her retirement:

To Mrs. Quinn, the Queen of Poetry:
Having held for twenty years your teas
And given to us all the gift of beauty,
Now you may at last enjoy your ease,
Knowing the sweet ending of your duty.

You've walked among the loveliest of trees,
Out gathering the harvest, rich and fruity,
Undying words that feed the will to be.
