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 futility of judging one’s fortune:
Fortune is the child of will and chance.
In seeking cause, one finds a mute regression.
For some, life is an incandescent dance,
Though others tend to look at it askance,
Yearning for what's not in their possession.
Nor can one ever know what might have been.
In judging fortune, there is no reward.
Now is what one has to choose or spin,
Ever of one's will the sovereign lord.
