Maureen Is Tall and Lovely, a Slender Tree

September 3, 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 woman who is so much more than an object:

Maureen is tall and lovely, a slender tree
About to vanish into delicate leaf.
Underneath her graceful bas-relief
Rest a curious and impertinent mind,
Even temper, and a heart that's kind.
Elect to view her as an object and see
Not even one tenth of what the world could be.
