Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is free will.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .
A philosophical number poem about the oneness of one’s fortune, good and bad:
Fortune comes in many shapes and guises.
It is by choice what one might never choose.
For those who like to limit their surprises,
There's always less to gain and more to lose.
Years bring heartbreak one cannot refuse.
Even so, one's fortune is oneself.
If choice and chance like lovers bring to birth
Good progeny and bad, there is no gulf
Hovering between one's choice and worth.
There is but one ecology, one Earth.
