Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is winter, both as a subject and a symbol.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A love poem using the phrase “winter’s tale” to mean a
sad tale:
She harbored no illusions.
She knew the winter's tale.
On and on the fragile boat
Sailed among the stars.
She managed without hope
But could not part with dreams,
And so as land approached she wept
And drank the bitter sea.
