Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is politics in honor of Presidents Day, which this year is celebrated on February 15.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A political name poem about someone who was blinded by a political ideology and now regrets it:
Andrew was a soldier
of the faith:
No one was more loyal or more true.
Despite the hard, rich texture of illusion,
Reality insisted on confusion,
Eviscerating much that Andrew knew.
What remains stalks him like a
wraith.
