Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is anniversaries.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A thirteenth anniversary poem about why thirteen is actually a lucky number:
Happy thirteenth anniversary!
All our love to you this lucky day!
Pleased to say it in this musical way!
Pleased to spell it out for all to see!
Yet there are many fools who don't agree
That thirteen can be lucky, and who say,
How can Judas be lucky, who'd betray --
Ill fate! - his Lord, although his choice was free?
Remember, though, that there were twelve apostles.
The thirteenth Supper guest was Christ, not Judas.
Embrace, then, that most holy, sacred number!
Equally lucky to Chinese and Quetzalcoatl!
Nor fear the coming year, nor hope encumber,
To surrender to such superstitious nonsense,
Happily together, come what may!
