She looked the new year right in the face
Shouted loud, "Bring It!", make it novel,
unused
Give me excitement and pick up the pace
Then threw back her head, laughed deep and long
Felt instinctively this time she'd not be refused
This year she'd write new words to that tired old song
Novel and unused, here it comes, so there will be new words! The energy of this poem infected me with the urge to make it truly new. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteNew words to a tired old song - love this, i must admit i sometimes feel like this.
ReplyDeleteAh, this is every poet's dream, I think.....to write those NEW words! And don't we feel good when we manage to accomplish just that!!!!
