Nineteen Is a Moment for Reflection

March 14, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

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

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

A number poem about a time of life when one seems able to choose one’s fate:

Nineteen is a moment for reflection:

Instead of rushing on, one stops and waits.

Now one contemplates a range of fates,

Even some quite likely for rejection.

The future is a vista, vast and teeming,

Eloquent of latitude and choice.

Eventually, one must find one's voice;

Now, however, there is room for dreaming.
