For You It's Been a Steep and Sometimes Tortured

November 11, 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 has come through a rough period:

For you it's been a steep and sometimes tortured
Incline to this long and lovely view,
Far enough to take a breath or two.
The sturm und drang you've climbed through is now scattered,
Yielding to a calm, translucent blue.
