Fifty's Full of Life and Well-Tuned Vigor

November 13, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is being fifty.

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

A number poem for fifty for someone who is still in the prime of life:

Fifty's full of life and well-tuned vigor,
In full career across a fertile field.
Fears of night from time to time may trigger
Thoughts that an exquisite sadness yield.
Yet life is still as rich and sweet as ever.
