Adelina Likes Old-Fashioned Things

A name poem for Adelina, who is old-fashioned: Adelina likes old-fashioned things: Dirt roads twisting through hand-tended fields; Eggs from hens that strut across the yard; Long wooden tables, faded, pocked, and scarred; In steel containers, milk that butter yields; Night unlit, that far-flung glory brings; And day pristine, that buzzes, chirps, and sings. © by Nicholas Gordon To see this poem on my site, go to https://www.poemsforfree.com/adelin.html.
