Lynnette Likes Tigers, Roses, Navy Blue

April 21, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

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

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

A name poem contrasting the self with the soul:

Lynnette likes tigers, roses, navy blue,

Yet all these preferences cannot be she.

Nice long brown hair, brown eyes, loves poetry,

Needs pets and people, cuddles, gentle, too.

Even these are not the girl Lynnette,

The mystery that is her childlike being,

The sacred soul beyond what we are seeing,

Embraced by love more deep than we've known yet.
