Jessica Is Now Sixteen

September 6, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

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

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

A name poem for a teen-aged girl whose choices will eventually define her:

Jessica is now sixteen:
Exceptionally sweet.
Shining through her ready smile
Sunshine brightens us awhile,
Intense but not complete.
Choices gather, hard and lean,
Along her dappled street.
