A New Beginning

Reborn here now without baggage No haunting beast or evil wraith I come, sans illicit luggage with a heightened belief in faith I'll not give in to temptation Reborn here now without baggage I am worthy of salvation Cleansed, in a new improved package Rebellion ousts right of passage I have learned my lesson quite well Reborn here now without baggage where in the past, from grace I fell Life offers a new beginning I've recovered from the damage No more anguish over sinning Reborn here now without baggage October 2, 2021 Dawn Poetry Contest Sponsored by Unseeking Seeker

I admit I have never written this type of poetry. So very well done, Loved it. :)

Thank you, Victor. Give it a try, but first choose an easier word to rhyme with the last word of the first line. The form is based on that making sense in all 4 verses.
