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 philosophical name poem about a woman whose fate is less than she had hoped:
Destinée finds destiny
appealing
Even as she knows that she is free.
Success then brings her to the granite
ceiling
Telling her what is, or not, to be.
Immensities return her quiet keening,
Nor more nor less than what she knows is true:
Eventually, she must surrender meaning,
Exactly as it was her fate to
do.
