Tonya Has Blue Eyes and Short Red Hair

September 4, 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 girl whose yearning must await her more mature self:

Tonya has blue eyes and short red hair.
Overall, she is a budding jewel.
Naïve yearning is not yet self-aware,
Yearning fear and ignorance ought rule
As time reveals the self she'll choose to wear.
