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 seventh anniversary poem asking angels to join the
celebration:
Habitués of Heaven hate to hurry,
After eons soaked in
ecstasy,
Perched upon a
pinhead, pink and blurry,
Passionately pleased
simply to be.
Yet those of us
below, who work and worry,
Send from time to
time an urgent plea,
Ever hoping for a
glimpse of glory
Vouchsafed from
beyond what we can see.
Enter, then, O
angels, in your fury,
Nether worlds no
bigger than a pea,
To brush the moment
with your burning beauty,
Hallowing this
anniversary!
