Twenty-Eight's a Rose in Perfect Bloom

March 21, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is spring, which begins today, March 21.

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

A number poem about a young girl filled with delight in life: 

Twenty-eight's a rose in perfect bloom

Weathering a mild, sunny spring.

Each day sustains a rapture deep and blue,

No hint of ultimate darkness seeping through,

Though roses are well-versed in suffering.

Yet now, for happiness, there's ample room.

Even mystic lovers of the night

In darkness feel the same rhapsodic madness

Given all who keep the sky in view,

Heaven light or dark, in joy or sadness,

The lovely rose afire with delight.
